About the job

The Workspace Intelligence team is responsible for delivering exceptional ML-based features for users across Workspace, including Meet, Chat, Gmail, Drive, and Docs. One of Workspace’s key differentiators is Google’s strength in Machine Learning, which we use to build assistive features that help our customers be more productive. In the last few years, features like Help me Write, Help me Organize, Smart Compose, Smart Canvas, Docs Grammar, Sheets Smart Fill, and auto-captioning in Meet have changed the way the world gets things done. We imagine a future where content generation is effortless, where content is organized, classified, and summarized automatically and presented dynamically, where finding is made trivial by surfacing the right content just when it is needed, and where meeting notes write themselves so participants can stay focused on the conversation.

As a Distinguished Engineer for Workspace AI, you will be responsible for the technical architecture and systems to deliver features powered by AI throughout the Workspace products. You will deliver infrastructure, tooling, and processes that enable high impact ML features at a fast time-to-market with high quality while honoring data governance requirements. You will partner with other Google machine learning experts and researchers to ensure Workspace is using the best technology available, including applying state-of-the-art research ideas. You will work cross-functionally to execute the architecture and enable feature launches across Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Meet, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. You will be responsible for technical guidance and architecture across thousands of engineers, working closely with Product Engineers across Workspace.

The web is what you make of it and our team is helping the world make more of the web.
