Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in technical program management or engineering leadership specifically within mission-critical facilities or distributed infrastructure.
• 8 years of experience managing technology deployments across the full life-cycle, from initial concept through commissioning and stabilization.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience managing programs within hyperscale data center environments, cloud infrastructure, or global network deployments.
• Advanced knowledge of physical security systems, automation, and brownfield deployment strategies in live production environments.
• Proven track record of successfully delivering cross-functional technology upgrades or migrations across geographically dispersed regions.
• Ability to influence engineering priorities without direct authority and translate technical complexities into clear executive roadmaps.

About the job

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 on the Data Center Security Engineering team, you'll serve as the architectural anchor and operational engine driving the evolution of our global data center footprint. Operating within the Automation, Systems, Standards, Engineering, and Technology (ASSET) organization, you'll drive technical, strategic initiatives that go beyond traditional project management. In this role, you'll own the end-to-end strategy, engineering alignment, and execution of large-scale infrastructure initiatives, acting as the bridge between security lab testing teams and global construction and execution. You will require a unique combination of expertise in logical system design, physical brownfield deployment strategy, and zero-downtime risk management across live operational sites.

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.

Responsibilities

• Lead the identification and engineering of physical and cyber security solutions for data centers, ensuring secure integration without disrupting continuous, mission-critical operations.
• Partner with design standards owners to evaluate and systematically inject engineered physical and OT security solutions directly into foundational blueprints.
• Collaborate seamlessly with operations teams (Security Operations, DCOps) throughout the engineering lifecycle to ensure that all identified and engineered solutions are fully supported/operable at launch.
• Translate vulnerability assessments and threat modeling of physical and OT networks into actionable engineering efforts, proactive remediation strategies, and architectural improvements.
• Analyze security telemetry and operational data to identify trends and technology gaps, utilizing insights to continuously iterate and improve deployed physical and OT solutions.
