Software Engineering Manager II, Cohesive Agentic Experiences

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 a Software Engineering Manager, you will build and deliver Cohesive Agentic Experiences (CAE) - a transformative initiative within Google. Your mission is to transform Google into an AI-powered enterprise by evolving internal tools into a unified, proactive, and context-aware agentic ecosystem. This is a high-visibility role with direct engagement with VP/SVP leadership, where you will lead the development of autonomous agent capabilities and transformative agentic workflows. You will steer a growing team of engineers building a large-scale agentic platform and a unified "Super Agent" capability used by every Googler.

At Corp Eng, we build world-leading business solutions that scale a more helpful Google for everyone. As Google’s IT organization, we provide end-to-end solutions for organizations across Google. We deliver the right tools, platforms, and experiences for all Googlers as they create more helpful products and services for everyone. In the simplest terms, we are Google for Googlers.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
