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 Geo team is embarking on a multi-year journey to build and scale the newly announced 3D Immersive Navigation Experience.

As an Engineering Manager, you will use your extensive Machine Learning and Computer Vision experience to lead the team in designing and building the freshest and most detailed 3D navigation map using sensor data (e.g., imagery, vehicle telemetry, location data, authoritative data, etc.), large ML models, and AI techniques to create new structured geospatial data and transformative user experiences for 2 billion users globally.
