About the job

As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.

• As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.
• Our team’s mission is to imagine and build the future of photography/videography, the creation of digital media, and the interfaces between humans and machines.
• Our team is known for doing research that pushes the frontiers of what is possible, for turning research into features that change the camera landscape, and shipping products with billions of users like Google Photos.
• As a Research Scientist, you'll actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects and from collaborations with research programs at universities and technical institutes world-wide.
• Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow. From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day.

  Our teams aspire to make discoveries that impact everyone, and core to our approach is sharing our research and tools to fuel progress in the field -- we publish regularly in academic journals, release projects as open source, and apply research to Google products.

Responsibilities

• Develop and prototype algorithms for computational imaging/photography.
• Work on imaging technology, from initiating new ideas and research to prototyping and launch.
• Develop solutions for real world, large-scale problems.
