At Google DeepMind, the business problem is to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence and use technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, specifically in the area of robotics and foundation models.
Requirements
- Experience of managing successful developer communities, especially in the area of robotics and foundation model.
- Experience in developing and maintaining (open sourced) software libraries or applications with external developers.
- Practical experience with robotics and/or foundation models; worked with popular robotics stack, tools and libraries.
- Passionate about robotics and foundation models. Envision a future world in which robots are ubiquitous. Eager to accelerate the progress via building and developer community to maximize leverage.
- Compassion with developers. Willing to help others understand a technical concept or onboard a new technology with examples, tutorials and documentations.
- A portfolio of technical blog posts or public events engagements in robotics or foundation model areas.
- Excellent verbal and oral communication.
Responsibilities
- Prototyping and reference implementation: Act as the 'zeroth user', build prototypes, write and maintain code examples and demos, evaluate developer workflow and provide critical, hands-on feedback to improve developer experience.
- Own open source: Develop and maintain open source repositories and libraries, and improve the general project for external developers.
- Technical Content and Education: Create and publish technical content, such as tutorials, integration guides, API documentation, video workshops, and deep-dive blogs, etc, that simplifies complex concepts and lowers the barrier to entry for developers.
- Community Engagement & Advocacy: Represent Google DeepMind as a technology advocate at major robotics conferences and events (e.g., ROSCon, ICRA, ...), attend developer meetups, etc. Actively engage with the community on forums (e.g. Discourse), GitHub, etc, answering questions, resolving problems, collecting feedback.
- Strategy and Ecosystem Growth: Help define road map and strategy for new robotics models, SDK and tools. Drive the growth of our developer ecosystem.
Other
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience.
- Travel to major robotics conferences and events (e.g., ROSCon, ICRA, ...), attend developer meetups, etc.
- Excellent verbal and oral communication.
- Ability to work with diverse groups of people, including developers, engineers, and other stakeholders.
- Commitment to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law.
