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 mission of the security and privacy organization is to protect, respect and defend our users, Googlers and the internet. Users trust Google with large quantities of highly important data and expect it to be protected from illicit access. Increasingly, sophisticated actors attempt to threaten the security of this data and the privacy of our users. The Detection and Response team mission is to understand these threats, detect them, and respond with equal vigor. We are a team of Technical Program Managers (T/PgMs) supporting teams and their 24x7 security operations.

In this role, you will primarily focus on drive execution excellence through planning, accountability, transparency to leadership and continuous delivery.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $138000 - $198000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + bonus + equity + benefitsLearn more about benefits at Google.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with team members and stakeholders to understand or identify defined work problems and program goals, obtain prioritized deliverables, discuss program impact and review key metrics.
  • Identify, communicate, and collaborate with relevant stakeholders within one or more teams to drive impact and work toward mutual goals.
  • Partner with engineering, research, and product to mitigate AI-specific risks (e.g., model exfiltration, data poisoning) across the AI lifecycle.
  • Own the technical roadmap for agentic threats. Develop machine-speed response protocols and automate defenses against malicious agent behaviors, prompt injections, and jailbreaks.
  • Drive the transformation of legacy incident response into scalable, automated workflows. Apply operational principles to ensure real-time, global collaboration during high-stakes security incidents.
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. See also Google's EEO Policy and EEO is the Law.
