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.
As a Technical Program Manager, you are a bridge between hardware engineering and global operations. You are the primary driver for serviceability by design, ensuring that server products are optimized for manual intervention and future physical automation. You will lead high-impact projects that transform how our data centers operate, focusing on areas such as NPI, new automation concepts, and acceleration opportunities. You will not just manage projects, shape the narrative, structure the strategy, and ensure our innovation pipeline delivers measurable results across our global data center footprint.
In this role, you will support the building and align a unified roadmap for physical server infrastructure and support automation by being the Cloud Supply Chain and Operations (CSCO) liaison to the Platforms Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) teams. You are not just a project tracker, you are a strategic architect who ensures that automation solutions are technically viable and operationally scalable. You will provide visibility into complex technical bottlenecks and driving solutions for the hardware lifecycle.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
