Software Engineering Manager, NPI Ecosystem and Agentic AI

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.

We are undertaking an executive-backed transformation of our product introduction and software development processes, and we are looking for an engineering leader to drive this effort in close partnership with our Lead Product Manager. As the visionary for the newly formed Ecosystem and Agents workstream, you will guide a dedicated, fully-funded engineering team to build an AI-enabled, highly malleable toolchain from the ground up. Today, our teams face heavy manual toil across disconnected internal platforms. Your mission is to change that architecting an intelligent ecosystem that gives Google Cloud the velocity of a startup while maintaining enterprise security and compliance standards.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
