About the job
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.
Google Labs incubates early-stage efforts to discover and create Google’s next generation of AI products. Our small, product-driven teams focus on rapid innovation to support Google’s core mission. The Language Applications team manages a portfolio, including high-profile launches such as AI Studio, NotebookLM and the Gemini API for developers.
Labs Science is a new initiative within Language Applications. In partnership with Google DeepMind (GDM), we transform breakthrough research—such as Co-Scientist and AlphaEvolve—into user-centric products designed to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Google DeepMind to translate breakthrough GenAI research assets like Co-Scientist and AlphaEvolve into intuitive products that accelerate scientific discovery.
- Architect and build entirely new products from the ground up, moving rapidly from prototypes to production-ready services in a changing environment.
- Design and implement sophisticated agentic systems and multi-step AI prompts to solve complex, open-ended scientific tasks using the latest LLM reasoning advancements.
- Establish frameworks and metrics to measure model performance, driving continuous quality improvements and model fine-tuning for specific scientific use cases.
- Work closely with Product Managers and UX partners to discover user needs and iterate on features that genuinely delight the scientific community.
