Job description

from Google careers

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

The Google XR mission is to make information accessible. The team is working to advance artificial intelligence for wearable computers.

In this role, you will conduct development on large language models (LLMs) and agents, particularly in the multimodal domain (vision, audio), focusing on developing AI for XR devices (glasses, goggles). You will contribute to AI research and the development of computing products.
