Engineering Manager, Payments Platform
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.
Payments is a core functionality of every major product at Google. The Payments Platform is the backbone to how every team at Google monetizes their products.

The Platform supports payments in 180+ countries, 200+ forms of payments, 65+ currencies and processes across Google products. To scale to the evolving business needs of Google across regions, we need help scaling the platform to be more configurable for all markets that we operate in, and enhance the platform to optimize its various features.

In addition to consumer payment technologies, the Payments team also powers the money movement between Google and its consumers and businesses.
