In this role, you will align design engineering, procurement, and construction efforts to optimize capital expenditure and ensure rigorous cost and schedule governance.
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.
