At 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 seeking a Staff Research Engineer, Applied AI to lead the development and deployment of novel applications, leveraging Google’s generative AI models. In this role, you will rapidly develop new features, and work across partner teams to deliver solutions, and maximize impact for Google and top customers. You will be instrumental in translating AI research into real-world products, and demonstrating the capabilities of latest-generation models.

You will build and ship AI-powered software, ideally with experience in early-stage environments where you have contributed to scaling products from initial concept to production. You will be motivated by the opportunity to drive product and business impact.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google Deep Mind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
