About the job

Our team is dedicated to making Google Cloud the best place to build and scale AI. As a Developer Relations Engineer for TPUs and open-source software, you will become a technical authority for the stack that powers many of the world's best models. You’ll help the community navigate the entire model lifecycle, from pre-training and post-training to inference, using JAX, PyTorch, and open-source libraries like MaxText, Tunix, vLLM, and others. You'll build demos and create content to inspire developers and increase awareness of Google's tools, and you'll bring feedback from the community to help improve our products.

This is a high-impact role. On one side, you’re an external leader: a practitioner who builds technical demos, shares them on social media, speaks at conferences, and mentors the community. On the other, you’re an internal partner: our "user zero" who advocates for the developer community to ensure our products work well together and meet the needs of the community. You should be a strong developer with experience with open-source models and TPUs/GPUs (or a desire to learn), who enjoys building demos and other technical content and sharing them with the community, and helping developers succeed.

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

US: $163000 - $236000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
