Software Engineering Manager II, Chrome Loading
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.
Chrome Loading team is dedicated to advancing the web ecosystem by leveraging the technology stack to deliver instant, secure, and predictable performance across all platforms. We are focused on pillars such as modernizing the network/loading stack, scaling instant navigation with prefetching/prerendering, and improving performance of Google products. We drive improvements in business-critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and core performance metrics.
In this role, you will be responsible for the people, strategy, and execution of one of Chromium's foundational technology stacks.
