Software Engineering Manager - RCS for Business Messaging

Expected

Like Googles 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.

Google launched RCS for Business Messaging (RBM) in February 2018 and since then it has grown rapidly among one billion Rich Communication Services (RCS) users around the globe. We are on the path of exponential growth with worldwide RCS coverage and adoption across clients. We have significant traction across the industry and great momentum to hit our ambitious goals. Even as we continue to scale significantly, we are still in an early stage. This ecosystem has a huge opportunity, serving trillions of messages to billions of users across the world, and we are at a right point in this growth curve.

The Platforms and Ecosystems product area encompasses Googles various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications). The products provide enterprises, and ultimately end users, the ability to utilize and manage their services at scale. We build innovative and compelling software products—from apps to TVs, from laptops to phones—that have an impact on people’s lives across the world.
