Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep
the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering
challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead
complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering
expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects
through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules,

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

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

globally.
• Manage complex relationships globally. Influence and collaborate with design
engineering firms, carriers, internal engineering teams, and executives to
solve large-scale network growth challenges.
