Responsibilities:

• Produce multi-task generative models directly on-device to power real-time, low-latency image editing features.
• Develop clean, reusable, cross-platform C++ APIs and native wrappers (Android and iOS) to enable frictionless integration of ML experiences into major partner apps like Google Photos, Snapseed, and YouTube.
• Integrate and deploy multimodal on-device models (such as Gemma) to enable private, local intelligence across text, audio, image, and video natively on-device.
• Optimize and port advanced goal-segmentation models onto edge devices, transitioning server-side prototypes into highly efficient mobile GPU/TPU pipelines targeting real-time tracking.
• Design and build low-latency, on-device audio and speech pipelines (such as direct translation) by developing highly optimized C++ code and MediaPipe graphs.
