Technical Program Manager III, Tooling and Automation, Cloud Networking

Google • Addison, TX

5h • $163,000 - $237,000

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.

As a Technical Program Manager, you are responsible for the functional success
of the systems that power our data center network rollouts. You act as the
critical link between the Physical Delivery team (who build the network) and the
software engineer/SRE teams (who build the tools). Your goal is to ensure that
our delivery ecosystem covering capacity tracking, workflow management, and
fiber design is technically sound, operationally efficient, and integrated with
our global inventory. The role extends beyond oversight, you will architect the
technical logic, validation rules, and automated workflows, and be directly
involved in the direct coding and co-development with engineering teams to
ensure precise implementation and delivery of new features.

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.
