Job description
from Google careersCommodity 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.
As a Networking Infrastructure Consultant, you lead the strategic and commercial lifecycle of our next-generation physical network architecture. Operating as an intellectual peer to Google’s internal network design teams, this technical strategist bridges the gap between hardware engineering and external tier-1 silicon and hardware partners. This role acts as the primary commercial and roadmap owner for the foundational networking silicon architectures that powers our AI, moving past traditional back-office purchasing and transactional contract management.
In this position, you will directly influence long-term technical direction and partnership cultivation across internal data center fabrics, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), WAN backbone expansion, and multi-cloud interconnect environments. Your engineering depth will ensure that Google's global physical infrastructure scales seamlessly.
