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.
The Caching group in Storage for AI Foundations builds and operates systems that enable first-party developers to write faster, more-efficient applications with less effort. We have a broad view of what it means to be a cache: we are generally interested in all non-authoritative application state, whether in-memory or in persistent storage.
Our systems include Slicer, Punctual (a cache invalidation system with strong semantics), Memstore (a next-generation in-memory key-value cache), and Static Content Serving (which serves most of the static resources at Google).
