About the job

Like Google's own ambitions, the work of a Software Developer goes way beyond just Search. Software Development Managers have not only the technical expertise to take on and provide technical leadership to major projects, but also manage a team of software developers. You not only optimize your own code but make sure software developers are able to optimize theirs. As a Software Development Manager you manage your project goals, contribute to product strategy and help develop your team. Software Development 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 developers are just getting started -- and as a manager, you guide the way.

As the Chrome Metrics Senior Software Developing Manager, you will manage a team of developers in Montréal and Warsaw that supports all of Chrome Browser's experimentation and metrics infrastructure/tooling. You will be responsible for team direction, priorities, culture, and hiring. You'll partner with developing leads across Chrome to understand their teams' needs. In addition, you will manage the existing Montréal team and help hire and grow the Warsaw office.

Chrome Metrics offers a large area of responsibility, collaboration opportunities across Chrome, and variety in the type of work we do (a full-stack tech environment).
