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.

Our mission is to ensure the seamless integration of hardware into Google's global data center fleet, encompassing both Google proprietary and third-party data center environments. We bridge the gap between new product introduction (NPI) and physical deployment, focusing on cloud, accelerators (including TPUs/GPUs), machines, and physical infrastructure.

In this role, you will collaborate extensively with System Infrastructure, Global Data Centers, Platform Engineering, and Capacity Planning. Your work will involve in-depth technical analysis of space, power, cooling, and networking constraints to guarantee new technologies are deployed predictably, efficiently, and at scale. You will influence product design for deployability, develop canonical layouts, and support the evolution of our data center infrastructure and tooling to accommodate the rapid advancements in machine learning and cloud computing. This role is critical to optimizing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and maximizing the value derived from every square foot of Google's server floor footprint.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $163,000-$237,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
