The Gemini Apps Data Engineering team architects and operates the data pipelines that deliver critical telemetry across all Gemini surfaces. We combine deep technical expertise with Google-scale operating experience to solve the unique data issues inherent in building a transformative, global product during a time of massive growth!
Gemini’s user base is growing continuously and our traffic has sometimes even doubled just over the course of a week. In this role, you will provide the technical leadership necessary to scale our infrastructure. You will architect durable data products and drive critical engineering initiatives across multiple teams to ensure we continue delivering metrics and training data quickly, reliably, and accurately at a massive global scale.
Leveraging your experience in building and running scalable systems, and utilizing modern data warehouse infrastructure at Google, you will lead a small team of executive and junior engineers to scale the data pipelines that drive Gemini Apps’s analytics and power model and product improvement. You will work directly with key stakeholders, including our Data Science, model release, model quality, and feature teams, as well as teams across DeepMind, to identify and solve key problems to help make Gemini the next billion-user product.
Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, 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 diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
