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.

In this role, you will drive the end-to-end planning, tracking, and execution of complex ML storage infrastructure programs (including Napa priorities like materialization, pushing, and sovereignty/compliance). You will serve as the structural bridge between the centralized Napa team and the horizontal File Formats (Artus) team to prevent technical silos, manage cross-team dependencies, and ensure frictionless integration. Exercise strong technical judgment to translate high-level business requirements and architectural recommendations into actionable engineering roadmaps; proactively identify and mitigate systemic risks stemming from platform shifts and infrastructure shortages. You will design, implement, and optimize lightweight project management processes, tracking frameworks and dashboard solutions to help a rapidly evolving site organization scale efficiently. You will navigate ambiguous environments and rapidly resolve cross-functional or inter-team dependencies to preserve timeline velocity on business-critical client commitments.
