AI/ML Engineer, Search Recommendations, Rankings, Predictions, Search

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. As an ML engineer, you will develop and improve personalized user models to optimize for user happiness. You will directly translate into our top line user engagement and quality goals (DAU, Visits, Impressions, Use Satisfaction Score, etc.). You will include our Neural Deep Retrieval models, Deep Neural Network Ranking/Scoring models, User/Content Clustering models, LLM-based Retrieval Augmented Generation models, and more. You will also integrate these models with the Discover and Search serving stacks for use cases spanning content recommendation, content ranking, content generation, diversification, and more.In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.

• Improve model performance and personalization precision/recall through advanced modeling techniques such as Transformers, Distillation, Reward Shaping, Multi-Task Learning, Neural Bandits, etc.
• Collaborate with DeepMind Research to pioneer new modeling approaches to improve model performance and address new personalization problems.
• Write product or system development code. Collaborate with peers and stakeholders through design and code reviews to ensure best practices amongst available technologies (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
