Technical Program Manager II, Kids and Families Core

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.

The Kids and Families team is working to bring new, exciting services and experiences to minors and their families.

In this role, you will play a pivotal role in scaling, optimizing, and deploying our high-impact ML Models. You will partner with software engineers, machine learning researchers, data scientists, product managers, and legal experts to manage the end-to-end model lifecycle from data pipeline engineering to validation, evaluation, and production deployment. This is an exciting opportunity to apply your technical organization and execution skills to an AI/ML initiative that directly protects millions of users worldwide.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
