About Tapestry

Tapestry is a group within Google working to build the AI-powered electric grid. We are tackling one of the world’s most important infrastructure challenges: helping the energy system become more visible, understandable, reliable, affordable, abundant, and clean.

Originally born at X, Alphabet’s moonshot factory, Tapestry brings together experts in energy, AI, software engineering, and products to build tools that help the electricity ecosystem plan smarter, move faster, and operate more efficiently.

This is a global effort. Tapestry supports partners across the U.S., U.K., Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and Brazil as they work toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

Joining Tapestry means doing high-impact work with a multidisciplinary team tackling a problem that matters at global scale. Learn more about our team and our mission here .

About the role:

We're looking for an early career engineer to join our Machine Learning team. In this role you will help build and deploy state of the art machine learning models to solve complex challenges that face today’s electric grid. You will work closely with other Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists and Software Engineers across diverse ML domains spanning multimodal machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing and agentic AI.

How you will make 10x impact:

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Machine Learning workflows using tools like Cloud Build or GitHub Actions.
• Manage the deployment of ML models into production environments (e.g., Vertex AI, GKE), focusing on scalability and high availability..
• Develop and manage automated ML workflows for training and batch prediction using tools Vertex AI Pipelines.
• Work closely with AI Researchers and Data Scientists to containerize training code (Docker) and optimize code for cloud execution, bridging the gap between experimentation and production.

What you should have:
