About the job

Trusted Platform Cloud (TPC) is a dedicated and sovereign Google Cloud Platform “universe” that is operated by a local partner that is located in the jurisdiction providing strong data residency guarantees for customer and operational data. It continues to receive new features and security updates at the same pace as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that is available to the public. The first TPC regions are in France and Germany to comply with the local regulations to offer a sovereign hyperscale Cloud Platform with AI capabilities. TPC enables customers to migrate workloads that were previously restricted to on-premise data centers to maintain their strict security and sovereign posture.

The TPC Engineering teams build the core technologies and infrastructure systems that enable Change Management, Monitoring, Auditing and Operational tooling for TPC universes, to enable TPC universes to offer the same capabilities, products, features, security, performance, and quality that customers demand from Google Cloud Platform. The teams are also responsible for ensuring the development and operational experience for Google engineers remains consistent with Google standards.

As TPC replicates the entire Google Cloud Platform into multiple universes, you will engage and work with every infrastructure and product team that contributes to GCP. For products that are critical to the success of the business, your teams will own the engineering outcomes and make “white glove” engineering investments to make them available in the TPC universes. You will work closely with external operating partner teams in local jurisdictions in order to align on common goals to meet joint business objectives.

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.
