About the job
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Core Machine Learning (ML) is focused on driving ML excellence for Google. This organization brings teams together and will help simplify and make it easier for ML experimentation, development, and productionization, and align infrastructure initiatives with new areas of research and product innovation. This helps us better meet the challenge of the rapidly evolving hardware and software space around ML.
As the Principal Engineer, you will lead the design of large-scale and versatile ML systems. You will be a technical lead who works across business units at Google to assess the needs and constraints for very large-scale ML and then drive the system design.
