About the job
Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.
The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.
We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $197,000-$291,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

Responsibilities
- Analyze Large Language Model (LLM) performance and optimizations for partner teams including Google Gemini, Search, Cloud LLM and Application programming interfaces (APIs).
- Identify and maintain LLM training and serving benchmarks, and use them to identify performance opportunities and drive Accelerated Linear Algebra (XLA):GPU/Triton performance and to guide future XLA releases.
- Engage with Google Product teams, to solve their ML model performance challenges, including onboarding new LLM models and products onto Google’s GPU hardware and enabling LLMs to train efficiently on a very large scale (i.e., thousands of GPUs).
- Run architecture-level simulations on GPU designs and perform roofline analysis to guide partner teams.
- Analyze performance and efficiency metrics to identify bottlenecks, design, and implement solutions.
