Lead Software Engineer, Infrastructure Quality, Robotics, DeepMind

Google · Mountain View, CA, USA

We believe there are many problems in the world in which robotics could play a significant role in making it easier, faster and safer for people to get things done. We’re looking for roboticists, designers, hardware and software engineers to help us explore these possibilities, develop breakthrough technologies, and build new products that could help millions of people.

This is a dedicated Software Quality and Engineering Productivity leadership role. In this role, you will be an expert whose primary passion and career focus is building, owning, and scaling the quality of software releases and AI model validation on standard and custom hardware. You will play a major role in influencing the velocity at which our team solves Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in the physical world. As our software and hardware infrastructure grows to support the increasing scale of robotics research, we need to continuously build and upscale our testing, reliability, validation, release strategy, and overall engineering productivity and velocity.

Robotics infrastructure is uniquely difficult. You will be solving for non-deterministic hardware wear-and-tear, complex large-scale model deployment, fast inference, and the massive data requirements of AGI. You will be experienced with software quality and release strategy on custom or experimental hardware. Your work will directly determine how many iterations our engineers and scientists can run per day, week, and year, while holding a high quality bar.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer various learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
