Senior Product Manager, Host Networking Software

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day. In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.

We strive to build the world's best domain-specific and standard computing networking infrastructure by developing the host networking software stack and infrastructure for TPU, GPU, and standard compute supercomers for both the Google Cloud and Google first-party (1P) technical infrastructure. Our mission centers on building high-performance host networking software—ranging from drivers, libraries, congestion management, reliability, observability, and telemetry—that empowers the next generation of AI training and inference.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability, and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide. We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future.
