Job Description:

X is Alphabet's moonshot factory. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world's most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.About the team:We are an early stage X team focused on using machine learning to build predictive models that could be used in different fields and industries. We are a small team and there is plenty to do for someone interested in building cutting edge technology and building world-class predictive models.About the role:You will be leading the project's ML track, building models to capture the influx of data from different fields and industries. You will be a hands-on engineer on the project and bring ML expertise to the team . We are looking for passionate and driven people, who are comfortable moving between creative, big-picture thinking and tactical execution in a fast-paced, fluid environment.How you will make 10x impact:Develop modelling techniques aimed at risk extrapolation, reinforcement learning approach & invariant risk minimization approach.Develop, maintain and update predictive models, and make these models more generalizable and robust in both spatial and temporal scaleDevelop domain coupling model (e.g. real estate + climate, economic impacts of climate change)Be an active engineer and technical expert of the project. You must be willing to get your hands dirty!What you should have:PhD in a STEM field such as CS, Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, or Mathematics/Statistics.Research or Industry experience in time-series analysis, multi-model coupling and predictive modeling.Experience in earth systems and geo-spatial analysis is also preferred.Proficiency in Python and experience with TensorFlow, Apache Beam/Dataflow, Google Compute Engine.Experienced iterating on existing ML models and dictating data engineering processes.An ability to thrive in unstructured work environments with rapidly changing requirements.It'd be great if you also had these:Demonstrated personal passion to apply talents towards solving big global problems.Startup / early product development experience.Excellent at prioritization and time management.Solid written and verbal communication skills.
