About the job

Google Cloud accelerates organizations’ ability to digitally transform their business with the best infrastructure, platform, industry solutions and expertise. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s technology – all on the cleanest cloud in the industry. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

GKE is the industry-leading managed Kubernetes service. As the originator and a large contributor to OSS Kubernetes, our team holds a unique structural position in the industry. Today, the rapid rise of AI and ML workloads is driving a massive paradigm shift, creating entirely new abstractions over Kubernetes and GKE. To lead this evolution, we are expanding our focus into adjacent projects throughout the OSS AI Infrastructure space. Our goal is to leverage our Kubernetes foundation to accelerate innovation globally, and to make GCP the undisputed best place to train and serve accelerated and agentic workloads, seamlessly supporting the frameworks and tools that AI practitioners rely on daily.

As Principal Engineer, you will be in a critical, high-impact individual contributor position within the GKE organization. You will utilize domain expertise in AI/ML frameworks to augment our technical leadership and build out the team's intuition for AI workloads. You will be the technical bridge between GKE's robust infrastructure and the rapidly evolving OSS AI ecosystem (e.g., Ray, Slurm, KubeFlow, PyTorch, NumPy, CUDA). By bringing deep empathy and technical understanding of the AI end-user, you will guide the architectural outlook that builds on and evolves Kubernetes and related projects.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities

  • Enable massive scale so that ML engineers working primarily in Python can iterate locally and seamlessly scale to 1,000,000+ accelerators without needing to become experts in infrastructure.

  • Drive the development and architectural outlook of a substrate optimized for Accelerated and Agentic Workloads.
  • Imagine, architect, and lead the technical execution of industry-defining standards through both direct, direct technical work and by mentoring and guiding teams of engineers.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
