Technical Program Manager, Google Pay, Recurring Payments

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.

Google Pay India is at the forefront of India's digital payments revolution. We build and scale a leading platform used by hundreds of millions of consumers and millions of merchants for a wide range of transactions, from peer-to-peer transfers and bill payments to in-store and online purchases. Beyond payments, we are expanding access to financial services, striving to make money management and financial products more accessible to all Indians. Joining our team means shaping the future of finance in one of the world's most dynamic digital economies.

Whether it is paying online with Autofill, using tap and pay in stores, or using the Google Pay app, the Payments team at Google is focused on making payments simple, seamless, and secure. In addition to consumer payment technologies, the Payments team also powers the money movement between Google and its consumers and businesses.
