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.
Our team strategically plans, designs, and acquires the scalable network infrastructure to deliver the fastest, most reliable experience to users across the region and around the globe. We connect Google's fleet of data centers, Cloud customers, and users by planning and acquiring long-haul and metro terrestrial dark fiber networks, colocation space and power, and other critical assets.
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.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $132,000-$189,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

- Instantiate plans in engineering-grade internal network systems and tooling, ensuring plan dates, technical specifications, infrastructure migrations, and geo-data all align in the systems of record. Resolve errors that result from version conflicts.
- Present network plans and roadmaps for approval by all internal stakeholders. Plan complexity will range from short-term augments to long-term region-wide strategies for Google network.
- Project manage the approved network plan with internal contributors such as network negotiators or vendor delivery managers.
