About the job

Our team consists of ICs, who work across project boundaries. We initiate, prototype, hack, partner, and co-lead numerous high-profile projects within GDM, Search, and beyond. Our work spans a range, including low-level algorithms and infrastructure, AI/ML modeling and ranking, fundamental research, and product development. We consistently mix SoTA research and practical engineering.

Our team has been responsible for significant improvements in Search algorithms for multiple generations, creating the ranking and machine learning platform, inventing novel algorithms and model architectures, and much more.

This role involves developing novel algorithms and AI architectures, hacking and prototyping, and creating tools to solve the most challenging problems, from infrastructure to user-facing products.

This role offers the opportunity to work on a wide array of challenging problems and cutting-edge fundamental research while directly applying solutions to Google, making a significant impact on Google users.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.

Responsibilities

• Develop a wide range of solutions, spanning from modeling to infrastructure (e.g., storing new knowledge, efficiently using LLMs to evaluate thousands of requests, improving those models, and enhancing their intelligence).
• Work with multiple codebases and machine learning libraries, creating numerous throwaway models and prototypes, as well as reusable model architectures and advanced libraries.
  
• Work in the context of real applications for important Google products and in partnership with product teams and other research engineers.
  
• Develop novel and practical solutions for AI and AI-powered tools. Expect to work on ambiguous, ill-defined problems, move quickly, iterate rapidly, and handle complex problems and codebases.
