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.

Machine Learning (ML) models are becoming very complex, making it challenging to get the best performance out of the hardware they run on and use our powerful computers as efficiently as we can. To solve this, Google is developing a system called Platform-Aware AutoML. This system automatically finds the best settings for both the model and the hardware so we can get the most out of our machines. Platform-Aware AutoML helps researchers, computer architects, and people using ML work together to make the most of the latest technology.

In this role, you will be responsible for performance and extracting maximum for AI/ML training workloads. You will drive ML performance by identifying performance opportunities in Google production and research Machine Learning workloads, landing optimizations.

Responsibilities

  • Improve the ML job scheduling efficiency to match the best ML hardware with ML models.
  • Conduct research and development to gain understanding and enable business critical AI/ML workloads (e.g., Search, Ads, LLM, etc.) with Platform-Aware AutoML.
  • Establish a deep understanding of the latest ML platform hardware architecture to enable deep and automated optimization.
  • Optimize business critical ML workloads to gain insights on how these optimizations can be automated at scale.
  • Develop, improve, and productionize effective reinforcement learning algorithms to improve Platform-Aware AutoML.

Google is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the users we serve, creating a culture of belonging, and providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding), expecting or parents-to-be, criminal histories consistent with legal requirements, or any other basis protected by law.
