Sitting within the GenAI programs, this role is part of the Post-Training programs team. This role will work with the core modeling team and many cross-functional teams to ensure end-to-end model quality for Gemini models.
Key responsibilities
- Model Training: Collaborate closely with the modeling team to support core model training, meticulously track priorities, issues; deeply understand evaluation and experimentation results; coordinate alignment and, assessment with model capability teams; drive testing and feedback collection to inform ongoing model development
- Model Metrics & Evaluation: Possess a deep understanding of AI model evaluation methodologies. Collaborate with data scientists to design and integrate model evals, execute evals, and conduct loss analysis to inform model quality.
- End-to-End Model Release: Own the end-to-end model release cycle. Manage checkpoint upload, generate comprehensive documentation, coordinate serving/deployment, capacity planning, and rigorous cross-functional testing. Provide proactive status updates to stakeholders, and effectively triage model issues back to the modeling team.
- High Level Strategy and Hands-On Execution: Drive strategic vision and tactical delivery. Lead with high agency. Proactively identify workflow gaps and implement scalable improvements to optimize efficiency and output quality
In addition to the above, we expect you to
- Scope and drive complex, ambitious programs, Manage simultaneous projects balancing immediate deliveries with long-term strategic success.
- Demonstrate strong technical expertise in modeling, evaluations, and/or model deployment.
- Thrive in rapidly evolving, ambiguous project environments, adeptly adjusting plans and strategies as project conditions change.
- Unite diverse teams for fast-paced execution and deliveries.
