We’re looking for engineers who are passionate about building software infrastructure. You will be part of a small team conducting exploratory research and engineering towards designing hardware systems using AI. You will have an opportunity for strong impact. No machine learning experience required. Some knowledge in hardware design (from chips to datacenters) would be a plus, but it is not a requirement.
About UsArtificial 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.
The RoleOur team at Google DeepMind explores novel computing infrastructure to support future large-scale research in AI. While our work primarily consists of a software engineering effort, it is also strongly tied to hardware engineering, from chip- to data center-scale systems, and all associated performance evaluation aspects. While expertise in that domain is not a requirement, a strong interest in the topic is expected. Our team also works in close cooperation with the Google DeepMind London infrastructure team which supports AI researchers and engineers, and increasingly with Google teams. Exemplifying a kind and responsible approach, you will empower the success of people around you, and elevate others to succeed.
Key responsibilities:- Build a software infrastructure that will be used by GDM AI researchers to automatically create hardware systems using AI
- Build software infrastructure for the design and performance evaluation of hardware systems from chips to data centers
In order to set you up for success as a Software Engineer at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience:
- SWE interpersonal skills (discuss technical ideas effectively with colleagues, e.g. through whiteboard, design docs, presentations; interact directly with our end users on various channels), the effort being highly collaborative, within the project, and with other teams at Google
- Experience in C++ and/ or Python
- Ability to code and an appetite to learn
- Knowledge (or at least a strong interest) in computing hardware, and performance evaluation would be very appreciated.
Deadline: 6th June 2025
At Google DeepMind, we value diversity of experience, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
