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.
Help us plan the future of Google’s networking fleet! Our team makes decisions that shape what Google's Cluster Networking will look like today, tomorrow and into the future.
We are responsible for planning Googles Jupiter and Virgo Fabrics basically all of the interconnect that allows machines, storage, ML TPUs and GPUs to connect amongst themselves and to the rest of Google. We influence architecture, steer NPIs, land Pilots and guide new technology into the data centers.
We are also responsible for growing, shrinking, augmenting, changing and maintaining the health of the cluster networking layers.
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.
