About the job

The AI Memory and Context team is a high-impact group within the AI Innovation and Research (AIR) organization, part of Platforms and Devices (P&D). Our mission is to pioneer personalized and private AI memory and context technologies that enable seamless, intelligent cross-device experiences. By building a deep understanding of user intent and behavior, we aim to transform how Google’s platforms—like Pixel, Android, Chrome, and Home—deliver cohesive, proactive, and intelligent assistance.

We operate much like a fast-paced, agile startup within Google, working at the personalization and contextual AI. This requires a "scrappy," adaptable mindset and comfort navigating the inherent ambiguity and evolution typical of early-stage innovation. This is a collaborative effort across Alphabet, including research partnerships with Google DeepMind, Google Research, and Labs, and product integrations across core Google experiences.

As a Software Engineer on this dynamic team, you will play a crucial role in bringing differentiated AI features to life. You will be building systems that understand users holistically through private and personalized memory. You will need to grow on rapid prototyping and iteration to quickly explore new experiences, collaborate closely with leading researchers and product teams, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI context modeling. This is a foundational, zero-to-one opportunity to influence core capabilities at the intersection of ML, software engineering, and UX in a constantly evolving space.
The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.
