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.\nThe Space and Power Efficiency (SPE) team is focused on maximizing the accuracy, availability, and utilization of usable power and server floor space across Google's global fleet. This scope encompasses both Google's first-party Data Centers and its presence in third-party colocation facilities. The team's vision is that every watt and square foot on the server floor is accurately accounted for and unlocked to enable predictable, high-efficiency deployment of compute and networking infrastructure.\nTo achieve this, SPE governs fleet-wide power and spatial capacity reconciliation, executes power oversubscription and space-release strategies, manages network power reservations, and enhances simulation and planning tools to unlock stranded capacity within data center reliability limits.\nLeading in the GIG Space and Power Efficiency (SPE) team means owning the critical operational and technical bridge between physical data center constraints and the usable space and power capacity made available to Alphabet's product areas. The core responsibilities span fleet-wide capacity governance, feasibility oversight, tooling automation, and cross-functional leadership to maximize infrastructure utilization at scale.\nThe AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.\nWe're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.\n Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.US: $192000 - $278000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits\nLearn more about benefits at Google.\nResponsibilities\nReconcile usable power and spatial capacity across global data center clusters, drive power oversubscription and spatial release strategies to maximize existing infrastructure, and manage cluster power reservations alongside machine demand to prevent capacity/deployment shortfalls.\nProvide technical sign-off on space, power, and cooling feasibility, and evaluate custom capacity configurations, spatial reservations, and oversubscription exceptions. \nCollaborate with site-specific teams to oversee audits and resolve deployment blockers around space, power, and network reservation constraints.\nScale capacity automation planning by advocating the software, data pipeline, and dashboard requirements, and guide requirements and adoption of proprietary spatial, power, and topology simulation tools.\nCollaborate across teams to align capacity policies/roadmaps, and mediate complex trade-offs across competing product area needs.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience. \n8 years of experience in program management.\nExperience with capacity planning.\nExperience with data analysis. \nPreferred qualifications:\n8 years of experience managing cross-functional or cross-team projects.\nExperience managing data center constraints, physical layouts, infrastructure, and standards (power, space, cooling, operations, and network). Ability to coordinate capacity policies, trade-offs, and roadmaps across multiple engineering and operations stakeholders.\nExperience with data center, networking, and machine deployments, including capacity reconciliation processes, and experience driving tools and automation for continuous process improvement.\nExperience with spatial and power capacity planning, including the use and automation of simulation, analytics, and optimization tools.\nFamiliarity with data center power distribution, power oversubscription methodologies, and capacity modeling for machine learning, cloud, and networking infrastructure.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5026,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":8,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Urban Planning","Digital Media","Marketing Analytics & Attribution","Streaming & OTT Platforms"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T12:20:58Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:6","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T14:43:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14367,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":82},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=82"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/google-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-technical-program-manager-i-capacity-planning-google-data-centers"}]}
