Technical Program Manager III, ML Infrastructure Resource Management, Google Cloud

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.

The Machine Learning Resource Engineering (MLRE) team serves as the stewards of roughly half of Google’s global ML accelerator fleet. As an integral pillar of the broader ML Fleet organization, we are responsible for managing the Google-wide Large Language Model (LLM) Serving pool. In addition, we act as the dedicated Product Area Resource Management (PARM) partners for critical client groups across Alphabet.

As a PARM group, our core mission centers on planning, deploying, and maximizing the efficiency of TPU and GPU capacity in strict alignment with Google’s top strategic priorities.

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.
