About the job
At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day.
In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.
One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.
Large Language Models (LLMs) need access to fresh, specialized data to give users helpful responses. Doing this at scale while keeping things flexible enough to let developers try new ideas quickly involves bridging the gaps between many infrastructure capabilities: chunking, inference, embeddings retrieval, and more. You will work with stakeholders across the Context and Understanding organization to make sure Google’s AI powered experiences can leverage the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) setups to optimize cost, quality, and latency.
Behind the scenes, RAG systems rely on vector (embeddings) search as a critical technology to enable fast, cheap, semantic queries. You will also work with the broader AI Foundations organization to guide the evolution of our embeddings capabilities across a number of storage and serving systems.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.US: $163000 - $236000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
