Responsibilities

- Lead the technical design and development of systems that can automatically transform LLM generated long answers into readable responses.
- Figure out how to use data about how people interact (such as clicks, scrolls, gaze, etc.) to help the LLM understand what the user needs and wants. Learn from open web, and how to better present a concept.
- Work closely with designers to translate ideas about user experience into technical requirements for the AI system.
- Create working examples (prototypes) to test how it works and find the best ways to build it. Create the technical plan for how the system will be built at Google Scale.
- Drive technical direction and best practices within the team, mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of innovation, making sure the AI isn't biased and that users understand what's happening.
