About the job
As a Senior Product Manager, you will define the roadmap for the core infrastructure that powers Google Compute Engine (GCE), one of the world’s largest compute fleets. You will bridge the gap between long-range hardware planning and high-impact go-to-market strategies that drive substantial business growth. This role is critical in helping global enterprises modernize their environments by delivering scalable, high-performance virtual machine (VM) solutions. By optimizing the underlying stack, you will directly influence the performance, efficiency, and flexibility that thousands of businesses rely on every day.
You will build an enterprise-ready cloud platform and enable a global infrastructure that is both massive in scale and nimble enough to drive the latest innovations in AI, machine learning, and general-purpose compute. You will operate with a "Silicon-to-Software" mindset which means owning the entire lifecycle, from custom silicon and server configurations to the hypervisor and Guest OS to ensure our customers always have the most optimized environment possible.
In this role, you will not only plan for the next generation of processors but also lead the GTM efforts that turn technical breakthroughs into successful business agreements. You will engage in compelling conversations with VPs at major partners and customers to solve their most complex technical issues.
Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
