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.

In this role, you will build the Navigation experience for Google Maps mobile products (e.g., CarPlay, Android Auto), their counterparts, in Auto-embedded Google Maps, and in our Navigation Software Development Kits (SDK). Geo’s Navigation Experience team translates our routing and geolocation into a visualized user product that showcases information about the user’s route. This spans the entire visualized experience rendering of the route on the map, highlighting useful on-map annotations, rendering turn cards with detailed lane guidance, framing the user’s view of the map in a context-relevant manner and speaking voice guidance.

The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.

The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.
