About the job

Google is an AI first company and is leading the efforts in principled AI adoption. We care about the quality of the machine learning data and models used in production. Towards this goal, we are directly supporting the Gemini team and other Product Areas. Our mission is to improve the quality of models that Google releases through its various product offerings by providing tools and services for making faster and easier to reach model quality goals.

AI in the Gemini Era is data-centric: the “quality” of the data used for training, fine-tuning, or RAG, matters more to the performance of the end product than almost anything else. Where it becomes interesting is when we ask ourselves what “quality” means exactly and also what is the value of some specific data. It is very complex, model and use-case dependent, and the techniques that approximate it the best are often found on the frontiers of research.

Our mission is to improve the time to model quality for our users. We do so by bringing Data Optimization techniques to a broad audience through integrated tools and platforms. We build and iterate tools to automatically apply data optimization techniques. We demonstrate to our users which ones work best for their use case, and deliver insights on how to improve further. We are working with key product teams across Google.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
