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.

In this role, you will optimize, model and evaluate Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) systems for comparative analysis for Google’s internal Machine Learning (ML) workloads. You will extract efficiency in Google’s GPU fleet. You will focus on performance analysis and optimization to identify opportunities in Google production and research ML workloads and land optimization. You will evaluate ML workloads and run performance/Technical Case Owner simulations to collect roofline estimates and guide decision for the Cloud hardware teams. You will focus on Large Language Models (LLM) (Google Deepmind Gemini, Bard, Search Magi, Cloud LLM Application programming interfaces, etc.) performance analysis and optimizations for GPU.
