Snapshot

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, 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.

About Us

The Product Impact team collaborates closely with a wide variety of teams across Google/Alphabet, leveraging Google DeepMind expertise to deploy advanced machine learning algorithms with the goal of improving Alphabet products and services.

We are a driven, collaborative, diverse team based in Tel-Aviv. We collaborate closely with teams across Google DeepMind, Google Research, Android, Pixel on several projects. Each project typically consists of a team of engineers working closely with our product partners and with our researchers and research engineers..

The Role

You’ll be applying the most promising models and research to high-impact real world problems, by rapid-prototyping initial concepts, and designing and running experiments to evaluate the opportunity. You will gain an understanding of the path from research to production whilst working on real world problems, with the chance to see your work make a difference. You’ll be part of a small project team led by Research Engineers, with the potential for partnership with research scientists and significant impact in the short term, and close mentorship from Product Impact leadership.

Some of our current projects are working on the most impactful Gemini experiences at Google so any experience with products, applying Gemini, or developing your own applications with third-party models is highly beneficial.

About You

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.
