Data Scientist, Product, Search AI Experiences

In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on.
In this role, you will work cross-functionally with leads from Engineering, Product, UX, and Research to shape how AI-powered experiences in Search are measured and improved. As AI systems across the industry become more capable at reasoning through complex, multi-step goals, the question of what "success" means for a search journey is evolving, and you will help define that answer: by developing new metrics and evaluation approaches, designing experiments for complex user flows, and translating findings into product direction. Your work will directly inform the future of Google Search and AI Mode, applying techniques like LLM-based evaluation and causal inference to some of the most consequential product questions at Google.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
