About the job

Commodity Managers work with Engineering teams to make sure Google has the supplies and equipment to put into production the innovative products coming from our Engineering teams. As a Commodity Manager, you use your wide industry knowledge and strategic supplier relationships to optimize our total cost of ownership for our global -- and growing -- infrastructure. The scale at which Google operates means that savings on just one piece of hardware can have a huge impact on Google"s bottom line.

Google's Silicon Sourcing Center of Excellence (SSCE) is the commercial engine powering our next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure. Operating as a unified service bureau, the SSCE bridges the gap between advanced hardware engineering and global supply chain execution. We manage the commercial life-cycle for all silicon operations, from sourcing standard compute and custom AI accelerators (TPUs), to directing foundry/outsourced assembly and test (OSAT) partnerships and executing early-stage strategic investments. Our mission is to secure resilient supply, drive massive cost efficiencies, and guarantee Google"s 5-year technology roadmap.

As the Strategic Sourcing Manager for x86 CPUs, you will act as the primary commercial owner for standard compute silicon within Google's Silicon Sourcing Center of Excellence. Operating within the Product Sourcing pillar, you will be responsible for the end-to-end commercial life-cycle of off-the-shelf (OTS) x86 processors that power Google"s data center infrastructure. You will manage high-stakes commercial relationships with major merchant silicon vendors (e.g., Intel, AMD), focusing on unit cost optimization, supply assurance, and quality execution. You will align Google's infrastructure scale with vendor roadmaps to secure the total cost and availability for finished silicon products.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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $188000 - $275000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities

  • Lead global procurement and agreement structuring for x86 CPUs. Manage the full life-cycle from vendor selection and roadmap alignment to high-volume pricing and decommissioning.
  • Act as the primary commercial interface for Tier-1 silicon vendors. Synchronize internal infrastructure needs with vendor roadmaps to secure early access to next-gen compute architectures.
  • Develop "should-cost" models using market intelligence and yield metrics. Leverage data-driven insights and die-size estimates to negotiate dynamic unit pricing and volume discounts.
  • Secure uninterrupted supply of critical components. Architect allocation strategies, manage buffer inventories, and negotiate robust service level agreements (SLAs) to mitigate market shortages and protect data center build-outs.
  • Collaborate with engineering and capacity planning to ensure vendor deliverables, including performance binning and power specifications meet Google's technical and operational standards.
