Senior Software Engineering Manager, Accelerators Systems

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 part of the team, you will build the system software, firmware, tools, and testing frameworks to integrate Accelerators (GPUs, TPUs, Video Transcoders) into Google Data Centers, enabling high-performance machine learning for Google Cloud customers and internal services like Gemini and YouTube.

In this role, you will drive the AI revolution as a Senior Software Engineering leader, influencing the entire technology stack, from the hardware-software interface to advanced AI system deployment.

As a part of this role, you will be a versatile leader with expertise in accelerator-driven workloads, a strict commitment to reliability, and advanced AI knowledge to transform software development methodologies.The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what's possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
