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 an Engineering Manager within the Egregious Harms Protections team, you will lead critical efforts to protect users and the platform against Violent Extremism (VE) and Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII).

In this role, you will navigate complex global regulatory landscapes, balance technical trade-offs, and foster an engineering culture, partnering closely with stakeholders to deliver robust defensive infrastructure that makes a profound, positive impact on society.
