Software Engineer, JAX External

Google is seeking a Software Engineer for their JAX External (JAXX) team, focused on expanding the possibilities of generative AI research and deployment using JAX. This role is critical in developing JAX and its ecosystem specifically for the external community outside of Google. The position offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the JAX community and collaborate with engineers across JAX team, Accelerated Linear Algebra (XLA), and other adjacent teams.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in software development, particularly in languages like Python, C++, or Java, with a focus on AI infrastructure. The role involves implementing and benchmarking JAX models, designing new features, and working on high-performance kernels. The position requires both technical depth in AI systems and the ability to work effectively with the broader developer community.

As part of Google's larger mission to develop next-generation technologies, this role contributes to handling information at massive scale and extends well beyond web search. The position offers competitive compensation ($166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits) and the opportunity to work in either Mountain View or San Francisco.

The role combines technical expertise with community engagement, requiring someone who can both dive deep into technical implementation and effectively collaborate with external users and stakeholders. This is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about AI infrastructure and interested in shaping the future of machine learning tools and frameworks at Google.
