The role
From Google's own posting.
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.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Establish continuous feedback loops with the Data Center Operations team. Act as a trusted advisor, gathering feature requests and identifying operational pain points. Manage user communications and advocate for operators' needs back to engineering.
Utilize BMS, EPMS, and SCADA dashboards to monitor equipment performance. Identify system anomalies, operational risks, or configuration gaps. Feed operational findings back to teams to kickstart their tool utilization.
Design and deliver technical training sessions on tools and telemetry. Create clear, user-friendly documentation, quick-start guides, and communication plans. Facilitate onboarding for new operators.
Identify and engage with new internal teams (e.g., Sustainability, Capacity Planning, etc.) to explore how they can leverage our telemetry datasets and tools. Understand their business requirements and map them to existing data streams or tooling capabilities.
