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.
As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) on the Infrastructure Strategy and Design (ISD) Design and Engineering team, you will drive the physical network program strategy and execution for Google’s global data centers. You will lead high-impact programs to establish consistency and efficiency for next-generation network infrastructure, partnering cross-functionally to co-architect designs optimized for high-performance computing and AI/ML scaling.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $163000 - $237000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of physical network reference design programs by establishing charters, schedules, and performance metrics.
- Partner with internal Network Architecture and Engineering teams to co-architect and execute next-generation physical network designs.
- Optimize physical serverhall layouts, rack configurations, and cable routing pathways to maximize spatial efficiency and deployment velocity.
- Navigate complex physical constraints such as space, power, and cooling to ensure robust logical-to-physical network mapping.
- Apply technical domain knowledge of Inside Plant (ISP) and Outside Plant (OSP) fiber infrastructure to guide high-impact program decisions and resolve strategic bottlenecks.
