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.

Behind everything users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining data centers, to building the next generation of Google platforms, the team makes Google's product portfolio possible.

The team's mission is to accelerate the Delivery of Data Center Equipment for Google Cloud with scale and agility by leveraging Manufacturing Operations knowledge to launch, ramp, and sustain products through the Equipment Supply Chain.
