About the job

A problem isn't truly solved until it's solved for all. That's why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you'll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You'll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

The Infrastructure Development and Delivery team designs, builds, and operates gigawatts of reliable, efficient, and flexible data centers around the world that power all Google services and advanced AI hardware. Within ID2, Google's Data Center Operations (DCOps) Operations Engineering organization serves as the central technical authority bridging upstream data center design/construction and 24x7 global fleet operations.

As a Staff Technical Program Manager for OT Network Security, you will lead the architecture, operationalization, and deployment of security initiatives verifiably reducing cybersecurity risk across Google's Global Data Center Infrastructure. Sit within the operations engineering pillar, this role acts as the primary technical bridge between physical data center operations, network engineering, and centrally managed security platforms. You will own complex, high-visibility cybersecurity programs from concept to global operationalization, navigating ambiguous environments to protect our critical cooling, power, and building automation systems.

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.
