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 goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us -- and we
want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to
build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into
our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the
Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and
maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google
platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our
engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we
can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have
the best and fastest experience possible.
