Technical Program Manager, Infrastructure Storage, Google Cloud

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. Youre equally comfortable explaining your teams 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.

Standing at the intersection of Googles storage hardware infrastructure and the software stack that allocates and maintains the data in it, the Infrastructure Storage Technical Program Management team manages a portfolio of technically complex projects that will ensure Google can continue to scale its mission to "organize the worlds information and make it universally accessible and useful." We are a growing team of entrepreneurial Technical Program Managers who work closely with our Engineering, Finance, and Technical Program Management counterparts on projects as diverse as determining the pricing for various layers of the stack, to determining the composition and deployment path for the next generation of storage machines.

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.
