About us

Google DeepMind: Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were 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.

Business Tech Solutions (BTS): BTS is a key team within Google DeepMinds broader Technical Operations & Analytics (TO&A) group dedicated to building robust systems processes and technology that support dataled decisions and power GDM operations at scale. As part of this mission BTS designs develops and manages critical technology platforms that significantly enhance internal productivity and effectiveness. This role will collaborate deeply with Core Analytics TO&As data analytics team to drive the infrastructure behind organising modeling and deploying data to guide Google DeepMinds strategy and decisions.

The role

We are looking for a seasoned Software Engineer who excels at designing building and maintaining robust scalable systems with some experience in data engineering. You should thrive on tackling complex technical challenges and translating internal needs into effective efficient solutions. This role offers a unique opportunity to work across critical internal functions from supporting analytics capabilities with solid data infrastructure to streamlining operations with AI based tooling directly impacting how the organisation functions and innovates. This involves designing and implementing scalable data pipelines and infrastructure developing and iterating on practical AIdriven tools for internal processes and collaborating closely with stakeholders such as analytics teams and operational groups.

Key responsibilities

• Deep Data Engineering & Foundational Systems: Design develop deploy and maintain robust and scalable data pipelines and critical foundational data systems.
• SRE for Core Analytics Infrastructure & Tooling: Proactively ensure optimal performance reliability and scalability of data infrastructure.
• FullStack Tool & AI Solution Development: Lead the design build and refinement of new dataadjacent tools and AI based systems.
• Crossfunctional Collaboration & Partnership: Work effectively and collaboratively with engineers data analysts project managers and other stakeholders across different teams.
• Technical Leadership & Team Growth: Champion high engineering standards contribute to the teams technical strategy and actively participate in knowledge sharing.

About you

Were looking for a highly experienced and impactful Software Engineer with the following skills and experience:

• Extensive Software Engineering Experience: Proven track record (typically 3 years) in professional software engineering roles demonstrating experience in designing building and maintaining complex systems data infrastructure or internal tools.
• Complex Problem Solving & System Design: Demonstrated ability to analyze ambiguous requirements break down complex technical or operational problems and design robust scalable and maintainable system architectures.
• Database Proficiency: Strong understanding of and practical experience with relational databases (SQL) including schema design query optimization and data modeling. Familiarity with NoSQL databases is beneficial.
• Data Pipeline & Infrastructure Experience: Demonstrated ability in designing building and maintaining robust data pipelines and the underlying infrastructure. Experience with relevant frameworks and technologies is key for example working with distributed processing systems like Apache Beam or Flume and orchestrating SQL pipelines and workflows using tools such as Apache Airflow or Luigi.
• FullStack Development Proficiency: Experience developing both frontend (e.g. using JavaScript frameworks like React/Angular HTML CSS) and backend (e.g. Python Java Go) components for web applications.
• Effective Communication & Collaboration: Ability to clearly articulate technical designs tradeoffs and decisions to diverse audiences (technical and nontechnical). Proven ability to collaborate effectively within and across engineering and stakeholder teams.

In addition the following would be an advantage:

• Experience Developing AIDriven Tools: Experience designing and building practical tools or applications that leverage AI technologies to solve specific business problems or automate tasks.
• Technical Project Leadership: Experience formally or informally leading technical projects or complex workstreams demonstrating capabilities in planning execution and managing technical risks.
• Advanced Mentorship & Coaching: Demonstrated experience actively mentoring or coaching other engineers making significant contributions to their technical development and growth.

What we can offer you:

• Direct Impact on Internal Operations: Directly influence how internal teams work by designing building and improving the critical tools infrastructure and automated processes they rely on daily translating your engineering efforts into tangible efficiency gains.
• Exposure to Diverse Technical Challenges: Tackle a wide variety of intellectually stimulating engineering problems across different internal domains from scalable data infrastructure and AIdriven tooling to fullstack applications that enhance productivity.
• Opportunity for Technical Innovation & Ownership: Drive the adoption of new technologies and engineering approaches within the team. Take ownership of key internal systems with the autonomy to propose and implement innovative solutions.
• Visibility with Key Internal Stakeholders: Partner directly with leads and stakeholders within analytics operations People and Culture and other key internal functions shaping the technical solutions they depend on and influencing technical direction within these areas.
• Collaborative & Supportive Engineering Environment: Be part of a skilled and supportive engineering team focused on delivering internal impact. Benefit from collaborative problemsolving knowledge sharing and a culture that values technical excellence and pragmatic solutions.
