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 Global Submarine Networks team designs, builds, and operates the subsea network used by Google to provide its products and services. The team collaborates with internal stakeholders and suppliers to assess, design, construct, and operate this critical infrastructure, providing capacity, at-scale, to our colleagues for Google’s network. We deliver all Google-owned cable landing stations and project manage the delivery of outside plant within approved guardrails in order to deliver the critical landing nodes and switching hubs in support of Google’s expanding global network.

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.
