Staff Research Engineer, AI Products - Mountain View

As a Software Engineer at Google DeepMind, you will be at the forefront of translating research into tangible product concepts. You will drive the rapid development of experimental Gemini-powered features, pushing the boundaries of what's possible to create novel agentic services and “zero-to-one” engaging user experiences. Further, you will be collaborating with multiple product surfaces across Google to bring to life some of these experiences. 

• Bachelors/Masters/Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
• A minimum of 5 years of relevant professional experience. Experience with core software engineering and building highly available, high-traffic production systems.
• Experience training, deploying and operating large machine learning models (LLMs or similar) in a high-scale, low-latency production environment. Solid understanding of distributed systems, cloud computing principles, and performance optimization.
• Proven track record in "zero-to-one" development—transforming raw ideas into rapid prototypes and full stack experience driving them through to full production.
• Strong programming skills in Python and C++.
• Experience with relevant ML frameworks such as JAX, TensorFlow, or PyTorch, particularly for inference and serving. 
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Full-stack engineering experience, comfortable working with frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Flutter, or simple web UIs) to visualize ideas, as well as backend services to power them.
• Strong track record in delivering features that leverage cutting-edge AI (e.g., LLMs, multimodal models) to a large user base.
• Deep understanding of end to end system architecture and adapting to new technologies and modern design
• Significant prompt engineering experience, deep understanding of evaluation strategies and familiarity with of pretraining, post-training concepts
• Familiarity with multimodal data and processing pipelines (vision, audio, text).
