　　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.

　　The team's goal is to secure network infrastructure for the Google Cloud and Production network. Our team includes subject matter experts that are comfortable designing network solutions that involve dark fiber, colocation space and power, and subsea cables and landing stations. We structure agreements to acquire existing networks and/or build new assets to meet the needs of the business. In this role, you will interface with the internal teams and external vendors to deliver these complex solutions, or plan-out the physical layer design to meet our customer demand, on time and within budget.

　　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.
