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.

Safer Alphabet Programs focuses on safeguarding Google's user data and its essential compute infrastructure, balancing security with usability. Our global team excels through program leadership, collaborative partnerships, and effective execution. We work closely with engineering and product teams to deliver impactful security programs.

This role involves leading significant, cross-functional programs dedicated to securing Alphabet’s vital network infrastructure, which underpins all company operations at scale. The primary focus is to develop and implement security programs that identify control weaknesses and proactively mitigate network risks against current and future threats.

In this role, you will guide large programs aimed at enhancing the security of Alphabet's network infrastructure. You will be establishing security policies and improving the organization's overall security posture through our technical experience, leadership, and influence. You will address network device security and the effectiveness of vulnerability management and detection. These initiatives are highly visible to senior leadership and the board of directors, demonstrating their significant impact across the company.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
