About the job

YouTube Search is the second biggest search engine in the world. And its GenAI viewer experiences such as Ask YouTube is on track to become one of the largest AI products in the world. This role joins a growing team on the cutting edge of the LLM revolution, and in a sweet spot between a classic RecSys and future LLM-powered systems.

In this role, projects will range from analyzing experiments, to improving foundational search systems, to developing foundational signals. We are looking for someone flexible and comfortable working in a dynamic environment.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

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