Technical Program Manager, AI Infrastructure Programs

Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

Google's innovation and infrastructure power all of our services. From Search to YouTube, our products rely on data centers that are at the very edge of technology, hardware, and networking. As our footprint grows, so does the capacity we need to operate, and this position is at the center of it all.

Your focus will be to drive large cross-functional programs that deeply impact the success of Google’s technical infrastructure. You will be part of the organization creating the tools and technology needed to scale with this explosive growth.

You will help deliver programs in data center software, supporting new Google-designed hardware products. Responsibilities include developing software for planning hardware deployments, monitoring the hardware, detecting and diagnosing failures, and scheduling repairs.
