The role

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.

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.

What you'll do

Lead pipeline development, network planning, hardware configuration, workflow automation, data management, analytics and AI tooling development efforts for the global CDN organization.
Identify areas of process improvement, drive cross functional change management, scale processes and operations, contribute towards E2E process development.
Collaborate with stakeholders to define the scope, objectives, and deliverables of edge capacity delivery projects to support on-net CDN devices, GGC and peering growth and performance requirements.
Identify, assess, and proactively manage risks specific to edge capacity delivery, such as hardware delays, site access issues, power constraints, and potential disruptions during upgrades.
Understand and align project activities with the overall strategy and goals of the organization.
