What this job asks for AI summary
This role leads the full lifecycle — design, deployment, and scaling — of autonomous AI agent systems built to optimize global data center operations. The work sits at the crossroads of physical infrastructure and software engineering, coordinating across hardware, facilities, security, and software teams to integrate multi-agent workflows into live data center environments. It suits an experienced program manager with a background in AI agent development and, ideally, familiarity with hyperscale data center or industrial automation contexts.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (10)
The posting is titled 'Technical Program Manager III' — Google's 'III' level maps to a mid-level band internally, hence the level advertised in the title is Mid. However, the actual requirements (5+ years of program management, experience building/deploying AI agents, cross-functional leadership across hardware and software orgs in a hyperscale data center context) support a Senior classification.
The role spans 10 possible US locations (Reston VA, Council Bluffs IA, Clarksville TN, New Albany OH, Midlothian TX, Sterling VA, Moncks Corner SC, New York NY, Pryor Creek OK, Austell GA). The primary/first-listed location (Reston, VA) is used for the CBSA.
SOC classification is genuinely ambiguous: Technical Program Managers sit between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other — the standard TPM code) and 15-1252 (Software Developers), given the role's deep involvement in AI agent architecture, deployment, and release management. 15-1299 is used as primary.
The compensation figure of $163,000–$237,000/year is stated explicitly, plus a 15% bonus target and equity — the bonus and equity are not captured in the comp fields as they are variable/discretionary.
Bachelor's degree in a technical field is listed as a minimum qualification but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
'Experience driving technical software programs in an engineering organization' and 'Experience building or deploying AI agents' are listed as minimum qualifications but name no specific tool beyond AI agents — only AI agents is captured as a concrete named technology.
DCIM and CMMS are listed under Preferred qualifications as interchangeable environment types ('DCIM/CMMS environments') and are captured as a single preferred skill with CMMS as an alternative.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and multi-agent coordination appear in the Responsibilities section (stack/context), not in a requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
Cross-functional project management with 5 years is listed under Preferred qualifications with its own year count, so it is captured as a preferred skill with the years demanded set.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): program management, multi-agent coordination, cross-functional project management.
