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 will join the team that is responsible for releasing Google’s hardware to mass production and developing a supply chain to deliver it. You will be responsible for leading the New Technology Introduction (NTI) process, ensuring the ongoing development and maintenance of critical technology roadmaps, sensing current technology trends, and providing technical expertise and leadership for the delivery of approaches and processes for our product development efforts.

The AI and Infrastructure team works on the world’s toughest problems, redefining what’s possible and the possible easy. We empower Google customers by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Googler Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide. We’re at the center of amazing work at Google by being the “flywheel” that enables our advanced AI models, delivers computing power across global services, and offers platforms that developers use to build services.

In AI and Infrastructure, we shape the future of hyperscale computing by inventing and creating world-leading future technology, and drive global impact by contributing to Google infrastructure, from software to hardware (including building Vertex AI for Google Cloud). We work on complex technologies at a global scale with key players in the AI and systems space. Join a team of talented individuals who not only work together to keep data centers operating efficiently but also create a legacy of driving innovation by building some of the most complex systems technologies.
