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.

The Google Compute Engine (GCE) Node team empowers our customers with a comprehensive suite of bare-metal and virtual machine (VM) instances. These offerings harness the latest advancements in Central Processing Unit (CPU) (x86/Advanced RISC Machines ARM), Storage, Network, and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)/Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) virtualization. All of this is backed by security, reliability, and performance to drive innovation in the Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), enterprise, and cloud-native landscapes.

In this role, you will drive Google-wide goals and innovation across dimensions including Security, Reliability, Performance, Observability, Manageability, Compliance, On-demand capacity, and scaling to help customers build their businesses on top of Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
