Technical Program Manager III, Compute Resource Management, Platforms and Devices

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, you will execute highly technical initiatives related to machine resource planning, operational programs for demand signaling and allocation, metrics collection and analysis, and rollouts of new tools and capabilities. You will work cross-functionally with key product group stakeholders across different disciplines, and individual resource users to help them identify ways to access compute resources easily and educate them on efficient usage and new platform features.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
