About The Position

As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you will lead complex, multidisciplinary projects from start to finish, working with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage schedules, and communicate with cross-functional partners. You will explain analyses and recommendations to executives and discuss technical tradeoffs with engineers. For Edge Service Capacity Delivery, you will independently manage the full lifecycle of large-scale network infrastructure migrations, leading cross-functional efforts to safely transition traffic across generations of Google's global internet backbone and edge network. You will address cross-functional challenges, drive legacy network deprecations, adjust program levers such as schedule and resourcing, and use technical judgment to triage network capacity issues, including maintaining Latency SLOs during migrations. You will also use AI/ML technologies to streamline program execution. The Technical Infrastructure team develops and maintains Google's data centers and platforms and operates the networks that support Google's products and user experience.
