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.

The ML Accelerators Roadmap and Co-Design team plays a critical role in exploring silicon design for future, pre-silicon chip designs, as well as enabling others to more effectively tune for existing hardware.

We collaborate with researchers to understand the future of ML workloads and translate those insights into potential hardware architectures. Through advanced simulations and performance projections, we evaluate and refine chip design concepts in partnership with chip implementation and infrastructure engineers, paving the way for next generation efficient and powerful ML hardware.

Our explorations drive a dynamic cycle of co-design, where future hardware possibilities influence software and model development, and vice versa.

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.
