About the job

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 Framework Foundations (FF) team is responsible for critical pieces in Android frameworks as well as the overall performance of the Android platform.

As a Technical Program Manager working on the FF team, you will work closely with product management and engineering teams in Android as well as partner closely with Pixel, Search, OEM Partners, and many more to impact our product roadmap and influence the performance of all Android devices.
