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.

As a Technical Program Manager, you are responsible for the functional success of the systems that power our data center network rollouts. You act as the critical link between the Physical Delivery team (who build the network) and the software engineer/SRE teams (who build the tools). Your goal is to ensure that our delivery ecosystem covering capacity tracking, workflow management, and fiber design is technically sound, operationally efficient, and integrated with our global inventory. The role extends beyond oversight, you will architect the technical logic, validation rules, and automated workflows, and be directly involved in the direct coding and co-development with engineering teams to ensure precise implementation and delivery of new features.

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.

US: $138000 - $197000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
