Engineering Manager, Google Maps, Freshness Infrastructure
About The Position
The Staging and Publication (SnP) team owns shared platforms that Geo teams use to stage data, select the best value, and publish updates to MapFacts. SnP is developing the Geo Signal Synthesis Service (GS3), the core engine for Geo's Hyperfresh Maps efforts. The service aims to reduce the time between acquiring new world signals—such as StreetView images, reviews, and navigation logs—and making map updates from weeks to minutes, improving freshness across roads, businesses, addresses, signs, and road closures. The Engineering Manager will work with the team to develop and execute SnP's long-term strategy. This includes building relationships with Geo clients migrating data flows to GS3, partner teams co-developing platform capabilities, and downstream partners consuming map changes and monitoring data quality. The role also involves learning the surrounding Geo infrastructure, including developer APIs, operator tooling and tasking, and SRE. Within the team, the manager will collaborate on OKR generation and tracking, provide career coaching and development, and contribute to technical reviews.
