About the job
Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.
Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.
In this role, you will ensure the Data Center Operations teams have the tools, processes, templates and training required to effectively prevent, detect, escalate, manage, and mitigate incidents. You will require close collaboration with site reliability engineers and global server operations in order to ensure that data center operations related incidents are mitigated.
Success in this role requires a breadth of data center infrastructure knowledge, experience with operational procedures, policies, business continuity plans, and electrical and mechanical maintenance activities. Additionally, this role will require close collaboration with facility managers, plant engineers, and facilities technicians.
The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
