Job Description

  • Technical/Lead Manager, Google Voice - Mountain View
  • Mountain View, CA

The area: Engineering

Simply put, Google engineers make computers do amazing things. Populated by extraordinarily creative, motivated and talented people, our Engineering team gets excited by developing new applications that really make a difference and are used by millions of people. We're driven by Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. If you seek to tackle such challenges as building a highly scalable computing infrastructure, novel storage systems, innovative user experiences or the next big application that will change the world, then this might be a perfect fit for you.

The role: Technical/Lead Manager, Google Voice

As a Technical/Lead Manager, you will own and drive technical projects and provide leadership for a group of 6-12 engineers in an innovative and fast-paced environment. You will be responsible for the overall planning, execution, and success of complex technical projects.

This position is not a pure management position; you are expected to contribute technically to their project. You should be prepared to work as an individual contributor for around 3 months. The interview process will emphasize technical skills and management/organizational skills equally.

Responsibilities:

* Work with product managers and/or customers to understand feature requirements, and drive their detailed definition.
* Ability to form strong cross-functional relationships to provide the ability to lead a sizable project team, taking the project from start to finish.
* Demonstrate a breadth and depth of understanding system integration and cost/time impact.
* Demonstrate independence, creativity and initiative and the ability to master a solid understanding of the company's architecture and its business goals.
* Work closely with QA to define test plans and test cases for applications.

Requirements:

* Must be very hands on, technical, and excited about the possibilities of voice communications integrated with the rest of Google Services.
* Knowledge of VOIP or other real time media streaming protocols helpful but not required.
* Experience with Google tools and infrastructure likewise helpful but not required.
* Excellent influential communication skills and business acumen to both an arbitrator and advocate for technical issues.
