About the job

Want to shape the future of how Google serves its most advanced Large Language Models? Join the GDC AI Models and Performance team and work on AI infrastructure.

Imagine re-inventing LLM serving by contributing to our disaggregated serving initiatives - separating compute and memory to unlock new levels of performance and flexibility. You could be optimizing Key-Value (KV) cache transfer mechanisms, designing dynamic resource allocation strategies, or building the next generation of performance analysis tools to dissect and enhance GPU utilization. This is a unique opportunity to go deep, from system-level design down to performance profiling, ensuring Google's LLMs run faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
