About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Engineer goes beyond just Search.

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 an Engineering Manager, you will lead our strategic Live Mobile Creation team. Our mission is to shape the future of live video through creation tools that empower YouTube creators to seamlessly go live from their mobile devices.

In this role, you will take the reins of the team's software engineering reports, form a strong, complementary partnership with the team's cross functional partners. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work in the depths of YouTube camera, streaming, and effects technologies as well as to lead key parts of advanced AI-based creation technology evolutions.
