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.
The Data Center Incidents and Availability (DCIA) Team maximizes post facility ready (FR) uptime by identifying risk proactively and preventing incidents before they happen. Developing global standardized programs to provide all operational personnel the capability to reduce the impact of infrastructure events. Delivering high-quality postmortems to minimize the chance of incident recurrence. Measuring performance and producing high-quality reports.
This role includes ensuring the Data Center Operations (DCOps) teams have the tools, processes, templates and training required to effectively prevent, detect, escalate, manage, and mitigate incidents. Additionally, this role will require close collaboration with Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) and Global Server Operations (GSO) in order to ensure that DCOps related incidents are mitigated before any user impact and/or data loss.
Success in this role requires a breadth of data center infrastructure knowledge, experience with operational procedures, policies, business continuity plans, and electrical and mechanical maintenance activities. Additionally, this role will require close collaboration with Facility Managers, Plant Engineers, and Facility Technicians.
The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
