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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

The Platforms System Software team builds system software stacks (e.g., boot stack, firmware, kernel drivers, system control, management, and monitoring software) that power Google's compute, storage, and machine learning fleet. Platforms System Software products provide the foundation critical to the functionality, performance, and reliability of Google and Google Cloud services.

The OnARM cross-functional team is tasked with enabling the ARM CPU platform in Google production, by moving key Google workloads across Google product areas, such as BigQuery, Dremel, Flume, and YouTube to our ARM servers.

Google Cloud accelerates organizations’ ability to digitally transform their business with the best infrastructure, platform, industry solutions and expertise. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology – all on the cleanest cloud in the industry. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities

• Develop, plan, and drive the implementation of benchmark and benchmark infrastructure roadmaps.
• Drive the development of methodologies, guidelines, and common infrastructure to help enable more Google teams/engineers to do ARM performance evaluations and move to ARM platforms.
• Act as interface between ARM Server/Performance teams and customers.
• Coordinate across ARM chip, server, software programs, and Google production areas to drive performance evaluation, optimization, and pilots.
