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 Web Ecosystem team powers the languages, libraries, and tooling-including TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, and WebAssembly (Wasm)-across Google and the broader open ecosystem. Our work scales from the smallest web apps to Google's flagship products like Search, Gmail, and YouTube. We are dedicated to delivering a front-end development experience by supporting cutting-edge web standards and building advanced, safe, and highly optimized compiler technology.

As we transition into an agentic SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), we are actively evolving our tooling to be highly efficient for AI code generation, providing customizable and composable harnesses designed specifically for AI agent integration.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google's flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google's products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
