Engineering Manager, Engineering Excellence, Google Home

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.

At Google Home, the team's mission is to create a home that takes care of the people inside it and the world around it. The Google Home Engineering Excellence team drives velocity, quality, and excellence for the software stack by building tooling, scalable test infrastructure, and driving quality insights into the development process. The team pushes the limits of test automation and developer tooling to drive code health, integration, and quality across devices, services, and apps.
