You will provide technical leadership within a matrix organization, preparing critical documentation such as facility audits, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses, and concept design reviews to ensure successful product delivery.Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
