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.

In this role, you will be responsible for leading multi-disciplinary projects that develop and deploy the next generation of physical security systems across Google's global data centers and critical facilities. You will lead technical security system life cycles from ideation and requirements gathering through design, execution, and post-launch evaluation, ensuring solutions are scalable, repeatable, and align with global security and product strategies.

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.
