Cloud Technical Residency (CTR)

The Cloud Technical Residency (CTR) is a rotational program in Google’s fastest growing business — Cloud.

As a part of the Google Cloud Technical Residency Program, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work in different Google Cloud roles under the direct mentorship of experienced Cloud Googlers. The project rotations include opportunities to work with partners, engage in technical solution validation, develop scalable tools, demos and related assets, and provide implementation, advisory and support services to Google customers across a wide spectrum of industry and scale. Before you start project rotations you’ll undergo training to prepare you to add value on day one of your customer engagements.

Training opportunities

Our classroom-style training is designed to develop technical fundamentals, communication, and leadership skills. You’ll learn from some of the best in the business and participate in project-based learning with your cohort.

Role rotations provide you with the on-the-job training where you’ll work on a range of projects, such as building tools to automate and scale business processes, coming up with different Google products to create custom solutions, and providing data driven insights to Google’s internal sales and product teams.

Gain broad experience

The Cloud Technical Residency program gives you the unique opportunity to experience different roles within our Cloud business. You'll rotate through roles that are customer-facing, and you’ll gain exposure to the whole customer lifecycle - sales, services, and support. Cloud is a dynamic business and the program evolves along with our Cloud organizations.

Build your network

The cohort experience can be a powerful one. With such a diverse set of backgrounds and perspectives, your peers will provide you with opportunities for learning and development throughout the program — and they'll serve as a lifelong network.

Grow with our Cloud business

It’s an exciting time to be part of Google Cloud. We’re on a mission to completely change the world of enterprise computing, and you’ll not only have a front row seat for the action, you’ll also be helping shape and execute the strategies to help customers “go Google” for their core business.

Google’s goal towards representation parity isn't just a talking point. We actively aim to reach underrepresented talent in the marketplace.

CTR inclusively welcomes all demographics to apply, but focuses on attracting underrepresented talent into the pipeline strategy.
