About The Job

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

The Production 2020 program is an SRE initiative with the mission to meaningfully reduce the amount of time a typical Google engineer spends on basic service management in production.

The P2020 Technical Program Management team partners with the organization to develop and deploy internal solutions that increase the productivity of Google engineers (across all business units) as they operate their Google Production services.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will guide and optimize strategic programs for the P2020 organization, collaborating closely with partner teams with Technical Infrastructure, Google Cloud Platform and Core. You will be passionate about infrastructure and are looking to make a direct impact on Google - wide production management, focusing specifically on reliability, safety, and usability.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
