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 will be responsible for leading the New Technology Introduction (NTI) process, ensuring the ongoing development and maintenance of critical technology roadmaps, sensing current technology trends, and providing technical knowledge and leadership for the delivery of approaches and processes for product development efforts.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
