About The Position

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.

allocations, and monitors utilization of pools of compute resources for Product
Groups within the Platforms and Devices.

In this role, you will execute technical initiatives related to machine resource
planning, operational programs for demand signaling and allocation, metrics
collection and analysis, and the rollout of new tools and capabilities. You will
work cross-functionally with key Product Group stakeholders across different
disciplines and with unique resource users to help them identify ways to access
compute resources easily and educate them on efficient usage and new platform
features. You will also collaborate across Google and Alphabet to share best
practices and provide user feedback on our constantly evolving infrastructure.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software
platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our
first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software,
and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new
technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more
seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
