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.
This role will develop the scope and deliver the solution for Search Client Infrastructure Platform (SCIP) appyness and agentic/generative UI infrastructure across iOS, Android, and the Web. This effort is a key priority for SCIP as it is a pillar of the Priority Zero (P0) appyness program (e.g., SCIP), and it is an annual priority for Search Platform leadership.
Key strategic focus areas for SCIP include supporting Search’s AI bets, including delivering a unified client platform for Search that is native-first in quality and web-complete in reach, unifying performance as an discipline across web, native, and server boundaries and making it easier for teams (AI) to develop on the platforms.
In this role, you will be responsible for managing dependencies between SCIP and partner teams, managing requirements and engineering teams to build the solutions.
