challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead
complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering

infrastructure in the world. As a team manager in DCP, demand allocation &
planning team, you will lead the team responsible for shaping Google’s
long-range data center capacity allocation. In this role, you will direct
scenario planning, manage high-stakes capacity allocation trade-offs, and act as
the principal planning liaison between abstract resource planning, and
infrastructure delivery teams.
