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 Third-Party Data Center team within Google Data Centers leads data center operations in facilities built by third parties. These include facilities built to our specifications and operated by Google (e.g. Jengas), facilities built to meet our Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and operated jointly by Google and Colocation providers (e.g. Mini Clusters, Edge, nGP, GCVE and others).

The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
