Machine Learning Software Engineer, GeminiApp Agents and Tool Use

Snapshot

We are working on bringing capabilities and experiences from both 1P Google Services (e.g. Maps Youtube Gmail Calendar etc.) as well as 3P services into Gemini all in service of making Gemini the best LLM-supercharged universal assistant there is. Our team of full stack Machine Learning Engineers are responsible for improving the Tool Use platform and horizontal model quality for all services that would like to integrate with GeminiApp and building new agentic experiences powered by them.

About Us

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.

The Role

In this role you will work on bringing conversational multimodal agentic experiences powered by 1P and 3P tools into Gemini and Gemini Live. This team focuses on horizontal model quality and infrastructure for scaling to all APIs/MCPs out in the world. We are looking for highly skilled Applied ML software engineers with LLM expertise. You should have experience building products based around AI models and slotting new capabilities into an end-to-end production stack.

This is a fast-paced role with aggressive deadlines where you should be prepared to wear many hats and be ready to solve a wide range of exciting technical problems. Some of the things we are working on:

• Improving the models ability to reason through complex requests call various tools to fulfill the user request including complex scenarios like chaining multiple tools across multiple turns.
