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 on the Rollouts team, you will lead complex, high‑visibility technical programs that empower engineers across Google to safely and continuously deploy software at planet scale. In this role, you’ll be responsible for defining program roadmaps, aligning engineering and infrastructure partners, and driving the adoption of centralized, automated release platforms and deployment safety guardrails. You will bring clarity and structure to ambiguous, multi‑team technical issues overseeing everything from platform delivery and migration programs to operational metrics and risk management. If you are passionate about developer velocity, distributed systems reliability, and leading cross‑functional engineering initiatives with company‑wide impact, this role offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of continuous deployment at Google.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise‑grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting‑edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

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