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.

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.

The Core ML Foundations Compiler team builds Accelerated Linear Algebra (XLA) the compiler technology that powers machine learning frameworks at Google, which includes JAX, PyTorch/XLA and TensorFlow.

The compiler makes competitive performance possible on cutting-edge ML workloads like Gemini, LLaMa, Veo and next-generation Large-Language Models (LLMs).

In this role, you will contribute to and use JAX, PyTorch/XLA and TensorFlow infrastructure and own the CPU and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) production ML compilers.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a team of Software Engineers to accelerate machine learning applications, like Large Language Models and Generative AI, to run at the fullest potential on GPUs.
• Enhance the GPU compiler software stack so that it performs faster and more efficiently on cutting-edge ML workloads.
• Launch new GPU optimizations end-to-end, including performance and correctness testing.
• Foster deep collaboration between customers, partners (e.g., GPU manufacturers, researchers and others) and the GPU compiler team.
• Support and develop members of the team. Meet regularly with individuals to discuss performance and development and provide feedback and coaching while also growing the overall compiler team in Munich.
