Job description
from Google careersAt 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.
The frontier of agentic capabilities is defined by empirical limits; we push models there systematically. As a core engine of the Gemini development cycle, we leverage automated red-teaming to expose sophisticated adversarial vulnerabilities and elucidate distinct failure modes. Our evaluations power the primary leaderboards that model training climbs against. By rigorously measuring failing modes, we directly shape defensive mitigations and steer the broader optimization space.
