The role is to help set technical direction for how we build and use coding agents at Google: agent infrastructure, making Googlers more productive with agents, and making the agents themselves better.
We’re especially looking for someone who has actually built agentic systems and has experience using them to make software development materially faster in a large engineering organization. This is not primarily a “follow the space” role — we want someone who has shipped these systems, learned what works and what doesn’t, and can use that experience to shape the next generation.
The space is moving very quickly and is competitive both inside Google and externally. We’re looking for someone highly creative who wants to challenge how things are done today, has strong technical judgment, and can turn ideas into working systems with the team.
A big part of the role is not just setting direction, but getting there: prototyping, building, iterating, and inspiring the team to rethink what is possible.
