Technical Program Manager, Agents Innovation - 12 Month FTC

About Us

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

The Role

The mission of Agents Innovation is to create a powerful innovation flywheel that accelerates the development of next-generation agents, delivering continuous model improvements to Gemini and enabling seamless agentic deployment across Google’s product ecosystem.

As a Technical Program Manager for Agents Innovation, you will be at the heart of this flywheel. You will bring the execution excellence to de-risk research bets and bring the latest Incubations to our users. You will drive the technical execution of programs that turn breakthrough agentic capabilities into production-ready models that power Gemini and Google products.

Key responsibilities

Orchestrate the Innovation Flywheel: Manage the lifecycle of agentic innovations from early research bets to incubation and upstreaming into the unified Gemini recipe.

Lead complex engineering workstreams focused on core agentic capabilities.

Drive the development and adoption of eval benchmarks to ensure model improvements are rigorously validated on benchmarks like SWE-bench and GDPVal.

Cross-Functional Integration: Build resilient pathways between DeepMind technical experts and partner product teams, ensuring a "multi-way win" where a single agentic advancement (e.g., skill writing) unlocks value across multiple Google surfaces.
