　　About the job

　　Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer (SWE) goes way beyond just Search. SWE 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 SWE Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. SWE 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.

　　Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We're made up of multiple teams, building Google's Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable Google to engage with customers at scale.

　　Responsibilities

　　Oversee systems designs within the scope of the broader area, and review product or system development code to solve ambiguous problems.

Set and communicate team priorities that support the broader organization's goals. Align strategy, processes, and decision-making across teams.

　　Develop the long-term technical goal and roadmap within and often beyond the scope of the team. Evolve the roadmap to meet anticipated future requirements and infrastructure needs.

　　Set clear expectations with individuals based on their level and role aligned to the broader organizations goals. Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance and development and provide feedback and coaching.
