About the jobAt Google, research-focused Software Engineers are embedded throughout the company, allowing them to setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly. Ideas may come from internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.
From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, engineers work on real-world problems including artificial intelligence, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more. But you stay connected to your research roots as an active contributor to the wider research community by partnering with universities and publishing papers.
We are looking for a Staff Research Engineer and Scientist with proven experience building large-scale machine learning systems, with expertise in modeling, data engineering and evaluations, to help us develop the best models as part of the Gemini Post-Training team, with a focus on Model Behavior.
In this role, you will help drive the team's strategic technical roadmap, identify critical modeling-cum-evaluation needs and collaborate cross-functionally and across the stack to land improvements that make a difference to the user.
