About the role

Google’s Software Engineering Manager role leads multiple teams across projects including YouTube’s performance ecosystem. You will set team priorities, align with product strategy, mentor engineers, and drive large-scale system design. You'll oversee roadmaps, coordinate across sites and functions, and ensure high-quality, performant software while developing your team. This position emphasizes leadership, technical excellence, and impact at Google's scale.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
