Research Engineer, GenMedia

Join the Gen Media team where we research and develop cutting‑edge machine learning models for billions of Google users. We are working on the intersection of video understanding and generation and contribute to Veo and Gemini. You will get a chance to work on highly impactful research projects which are used by billions of users.

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google Deep Mind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

• You’ll be applying research ideas to high‑impact real‑world problems. This includes prototyping, dataset curation, model training, performance optimization and deployment.
• Some of our current projects are focusing on the areas below, so experience in any of these is highly beneficial:
  • Generative Media (video and audio‑visual)
  • Multimodal Understanding
  • Multimodal evaluations

We seek out individuals who thrive in ambiguity and who are willing to help out with whatever moves prototypes forward. We regularly need to invent novel solutions to problems, and often change course if our ideas don’t work out, so flexibility and adaptability to work on any project is a must.
