About the job

Machine Learning has the potential to radically transform the creative process for novices and experts alike. Advances in generative modeling and user interaction can lead to new creative tools that make creating art and music more accessible to everyone, enabling people to explore new avenues for expression.

Magenta g.co/magenta , as a part of the Google Brain team, has the mission to explore this new frontier by both performing fundamental research in ML and human computer interaction (HCI), and deploying this research as new creative tools g.co/magenta/demos to excite and delight many of users.

We seek to engage with a community of developers and artists, by creating open-source frameworks for creative coders.

In this role, you will work in tandem with researchers to use cutting-edge research to create amazing experiences to delight and empower users. Beyond creating one-way tools, you will also help researchers directly incorporate user feedback into training new models by building platforms and designing new user interactions to enable human-in-the-loop machine learning.

Research happens at Google everyday, on many different embedded teams throughout the company. Our research reaches the user through both services and products such as Search, Maps, Google Assistant, Google Translate, Google Cloud and our computing, storage, and networking infrastructure. To achieve this, we’re working on a wide variety of projects that utilize the latest state-of-the-art technologies that push the boundaries of what is possible.

Responsibilities

• Grow user creativity by designing, building, and deploying delightful new creative tools leveraging cutting-edge generative models research.
• Enable human-in-the-loop research by working with researchers to iteratively design, build, and deploy user interactions as platforms for new research on learning from human feedback.
• Visualize and analyze user interaction traces to understand user behavior.
• Release and maintain open-source code for research and creative tools.
• Engage the broader community through giving talks (i.e. academic and general audience), writing blog posts, interviews with media, social media activity, and collaborative projects with artists and musicians.
