Responsibilities
You will analyze and optimize AI inference workloads across the application and infrastructure layers to improve throughput and reduce latency. Additionally, you will design optimization techniques and develop tools to track compute usage across the fleet.
Requirements
Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in a technical field and at least 8 years of software development experience. Proficiency in Python and C++, along with deep knowledge of AI model execution constraints and serving architectures, is required.
Full job description
Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of experience in software development.
Experience in Python and C++, including navigating, debugging, and modifying serving codebases.
Experience with AI model execution constraints, throughput-latency tradeoffs, memory bandwidth limitations, and modern serving architectures.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with real world LLM inference serving environments or direct contributions to modern open-source inference frameworks (e.g., vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang, Dynamo).
Experience profiling workloads using standard ML profilers (e.g., PyTorch profiler) and internal trace analysis tools.
Experience with observability and reliability for large distributed systems.
Familiarity with GPU/TPU/accelerator performance concepts (e.g. memory bandwidth, quantization, collective communication, kernel), and can reason their implications to the overall inference serving performance.
About the job:
At Google DeepMind our mission is to build the world's first general-purpose learning agent. Central to this mission is the complex task of measuring the intelligence of our prototypes. As a Software Engineer, you will be working with the cutting edge AI agents developed by our exceptional team of Machine Learning and Neuroscience research scientists. Your responsibilities will include everything from creating systems for agent testing using 2D and 3D games to developing test problems within physics simulators. You will create graphical visualization of results, build competitive agent leaderboards and test new algorithms on robots. To succeed in this role you will need to have a strong foundation in software engineering and enjoy working on a wide range of challenging problems within a mission-driven team.
As an Inference Performance Engineer, you will push the boundaries of AI model execution at scale. In this role, you will be at the forefront of making large-scale AI inference faster, cheaper, and more efficient. You will analyze the entire inference stack to identify critical bottlenecks and drive systemic improvements. By combining deep systems profiling, benchmarking, and first-principles problem solving, your work will directly maximize hardware throughput, reduce cost-to-serve, and empower our cross-functional teams to make data-driven capacity and latency tradeoffs.
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.
We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Analyze and optimize AI inference workloads across the application, model, and distributed fleet infrastructure layers to methodically increase throughput-per-GPU and reduce latency.
Design and implement inference optimization techniques.
Investigate and resolve complex model inference performance bottlenecks across the stack.
Model the latency-to-cost impacts of system variables (such as batch-sizing and utilization goals) and translate these insights into actionable signals that drive production systems.
Develop investigative tools and metrics (e.g., compute/FLOPs funnels) that track where compute is spent across the fleet.
