About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Developer goes 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 Developers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure 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. 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.

With technical and leadership expertise, you manage Developers across multiple teams and locations, a large product budget and oversee the deployment of large-scale projects across multiple sites internationally.

Applied AI builds conversational agents deployed at a large scale that achieve very meaningful results in the real world. Some examples include the customer agent built for large call center environments, to fast food ordering handled by our Food AI agent. The team is transforming how enterprises connect with customers through the power of AI. We also offer unique experiences for team members where you get to work directly with the model builders (Google DeepMind / Vertex), learn and work with brilliant AI leaders, and have access to Global 1000 customers via our existing Google Cloud relationships. The opportunity in this space is tremendous.
