Software Engineer Manager II, Resource Engineering

About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search. Software Engineering Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of Engineers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure Engineers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Engineering 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 engineers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

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

In this role, Google Cloud Storage (GCS) provides planet scale, object storage service for external Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customers and internal large-scale Google products like GMail, Photos, Drive, and YouTube. As a part of the GCS Resource Engineering team, you will build extensible software solutions that plan capacity to guarantee high service reliability and resource efficiency.

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will lead a critical team dedicated to enabling high-throughput products and scenarios, including our Bandwidth Highway program. You will address ambiguous supply problems and ensure GCS remains the high-performance storage backbone for the next-generation of AI workloads.
