Technical Program Manager, Data Center Security Engineering

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Lead the identification and engineering of physical and cyber security solutions for data centers, ensuring secure integration without disrupting continuous, mission-critical operations.
• Partner with design standards owners to evaluate and systematically inject engineered physical and OT security solutions directly into foundational blueprints.
• Collaborate seamlessly with operations teams (Security Operations, DCOps) throughout the engineering lifecycle to ensure that all identified and engineered solutions are fully supported/operable at launch.
• Analyze security telemetry and operational data to identify trends and technology gaps, utilizing insights to continuously iterate and improve deployed physical and OT solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in technical program management or engineering leadership specifically within mission-critical facilities or distributed infrastructure.
• 8 years of experience managing technology deployments across the full life-cycle, from initial concept through commissioning and stabilization.

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience managing programs within hyperscale data center environments, cloud infrastructure, or global network deployments.
• Advanced knowledge of physical security systems, automation, and brownfield deployment strategies in live production environments.
• Proven track record of successfully delivering cross-functional technology upgrades or migrations across geographically dispersed regions.
• Ability to influence engineering priorities without direct authority and translate technical complexities into clear executive roadmaps.
