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.
With your technical expertise you will manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables. You will design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.
As a Software Engineer focusing on agentic robotics systems and model serving, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and robust production systems by architecting and optimizing the full runtime stack—from on-robot harnesses and real-time control interfaces to edge and cloud serving infrastructure. You will build reliable, low-latency, and scalable solutions for real-world robotics applications, accelerating research initiatives and industry partnerships.
Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

Responsibilities
- Architect highly reliable and scalable full-stack model serving and deployment solutions spanning on-robot runtimes, local edge compute, and cloud backend systems (such as Beyond and Uniserve) customizing for stateful bidirectional streaming, multi-rate agentic control loops, and fast model hot-swapping in real-world robotics deployments.
- Conduct end-to-end performance analysis, profiling, and optimization across the entire sensory-to-action loop, from on-robot sensor ingestion, transport, and real-time execution handoffs to KV-cache management, graph compilation, and accelerator inference for cutting-edge robotics foundation models.
- Partner closely with research scientists, hardware/control engineers, and organizational partner teams to co-design agentic harnesses, streaming APIs, and closed-loop deployment workflows that provide flexibility and reliability across various robotics applications.
