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.

Media algorithms organization is a mix of applied research and YouTube's core media infrastructure at scale. The team contains Software Engineers and domain experts, focused on researching and improving the video infrastructure for audio and video quality, generative media, and transcoding. We build guardrails for YouTube's media quality, optimizing tradeoffs between quality and scaling costs (network and resource usage), and innovating backend transcoding/processing infrastructure, to effectively serve massive amounts of video to billions of users across a wide range of devices. We build innovative YouTube features within the audio quality, automatic dubbing and live streaming space.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun - and we do it all together.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
