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.
As a Software Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for Rodos, a proxy service for Google's base storage services like Colossus. You will protect the underlying storage nodes by terminating and buffering network connections from abusive clients or remote data centers. You will make more efficient use of expensive long-range fiber bandwidth. Demand for efficient access to far-away Colossus cells is growing rapidly, with much of the recent growth coming from Google's AI efforts. AI developers have to manage specialized compute capacity and training data spread across many data-centers, making them particularly interested in efficient and reliable access to Colossus across data-center boundaries.
