Jeff Dean is also a manager at this point. There were historically two though, Jeff and Sanjay, and Jeff's former role is free.

The “former role is free”? Google is huge and has thousands of managers, so it’s only “free” in the sense that they’re hiring some managers. There’s still only one Jeff Dean.

I think you misunderstood.

Jeff was an IC. He no longer is. Under the naive assumptions that many people in this thread are making, that means the IC position he was in should be available.

It's not. I leave why as an exercise to the reader.

Ah, indeed. I took your comment to mean the opposite. Mea culpa.
