About The Job At Google, research-focused software engineers are embedded throughout the company, allowing them to set up 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, and core search and more. You stay connected to your research roots as an active contributor to the wider research community by partnering with universities and publishing papers. In this role, you will be making significant breakthroughs towards computational efficiency of generative AI models (LLMs, diffusion models, generative videos). You will research algorithmic efficiency, model compression, and inference acceleration, directly impacting how next-generation AI models will be deployed to billions of people. Responsibilities Write product or system development code. Collaborate with peers and stakeholders through design and code reviews to ensure best practices among available technologies (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency). Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product or program updates and user feedback. Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve issues by analyzing the sources of issues and impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality. Implement solutions in one or more specialized ML areas, utilize ML infrastructure, and contribute to model optimization and data processing.
