Description
We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to join our Agents Innovation team. As a Technical Program Manager, you will be at the heart of our innovation flywheel, bringing 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.
To succeed in this role, you will need 8+ years of experience leading complex, organizational-level technical programs in a software development or R&D environment. You should have a deep understanding of the AI model development lifecycle, including pre-training, post-training, and infrastructure constraints, especially in agentic development. You will also need proven ability to manage engineering backlogs, navigate technical ambiguity, and drive execution on high-priority research strikes.
