About the job
Google’s software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We’re looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
With increasing globalization, people all around the world are realizing the importance of being able to communicate with anyone regardless of their language. Research also shows that children are especially good at learning new languages through immersion. We believe Assistant can play a unique role by bringing Google’s industry-leading technologies in speech, translation, and device distribution (i.e. from phone to home) to unlock language learning opportunities to users globally.
The other half of this team is focused on a related, but independent effort, called Product Inclusion, which aims to make Assistant more equitable for users from underrepresented groups. In this role, you will be focused on the following areas (e.g., Interpreter Mode, Pronunciation Practice, Dictionary, Spelling, Language Learning Hub).
Responsibilities
- Oversee two separate areas: Language and Learning and Product Inclusion.
- Provide technical, people, and strategic leadership.
- Establish team culture focused on engineering, product, and operational excellence by providing technical guidance to the team, as well as building a strong metrics driven culture.
- Work closely with Product Management/UX to help define objective key results and strategic direction for the team.
