Ship GenAI research into production ML pipelines at Google DeepMind
This Google DeepMind Software Engineer role (Sunnyvale, hybrid) sits at the boundary of research and production: prototyping GenAI solutions for generative media and multimodal understanding, building ML pipelines, and hardening product code with integration/performance/security testing. It requires 2 years of experience training generative AI models for media generation, building models in TensorFlow/PyTorch/JAX, managing ML infrastructure (deployment, evaluation, optimization, data processing), and general software development in Java/C/C++/Python/Go. Expect the mock to blend ML system design with core coding fundamentals (data structures/algorithms) and production-engineering rigor.

What this interview tests
- Training and evaluating generative AI models for media generation
- ML framework tradeoffs (TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX)
- ML infrastructure: deployment, evaluation, optimization, data pipelines
- Core data structures and algorithms
- Debugging and root-causing production system issues (performance, security, reliability)
Common question themes
Design an ML pipeline to take a generative media model from prototype to production
Compare TensorFlow, PyTorch, and JAX for a training workload — when would you pick each
Walk through debugging a complex production issue in an ML-serving system
How would you structure integration and performance tests for a generative model service
Solve a data structures/algorithms problem and discuss complexity tradeoffs
