About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Developer goes way beyond just Search. Software Development Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of software developers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure software developers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Development Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Software Development teams work all across the company, in areas such as information retrieval, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking, security, data compression, user interface design; the list goes on and is growing every day. Operating with scale and speed, our exceptional software developers are just getting started - and as a manager, you guide the way.

Chrome Desktop users rely on us to make the web work better for them. In this role, you will manage and guide a team of passionate developers to build features that empower users to discover, explore, organize, and extract value from web content. You will be actively involved in hiring for this team from the start. Your leadership will be essential in creating a collaborative environment where your team can thrive and deliver exceptional features that delight our users. You'll inspire a team that consistently delivers innovative, user-centric features, and your impact will be felt by millions of users worldwide.


Chrome is dedicated to building a better, more open web. We’re focused on making a better browser (on both desktop and mobile) to help users take advantage of all the web has to offer in a safe and secure way.Chrome is available across all major platforms — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS. We also built Chrome as an open source project so the entire web ecosystem could benefit from the latest innovations in speed, simplicity and security.

Responsibilities
  • Set and communicate team priorities that support the broader organization's goals. Align strategy, processes, and decision-making across teams.
  • Set clear expectations with individuals based on their level and role and aligned to the broader organization's goals. Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance and development and provide feedback and coaching.
  • Develop the mid-term technical goal and roadmap within the scope of your (often multiple) team(s). Evolve the roadmap to meet anticipated future requirements and infrastructure needs.
  • Drive the planning, execution, and success of complex technical projects that directly enhance the Chrome Desktop experience, and advocate for user-centric design to ensure the features your team builds are both powerful and intuitive.
  • Review code developed by other engineers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
