About the job
Algorithmic advancements will play a significant role in the future of GenAI models and agents, offering the promise of additional step changes in quality. At the same time, as agentic capabilities expand, ensuring their safety, alignment, and resilience against abuse will be critical for Google's users, advertisers, and customers. We are seeking a visionary Principal PM in Google Research to define the future of foundational algorithms, privacy, and safety, partnering closely with PAs to develop and implement new approaches and technologies. This role will be a key advocate for Aligned AI, ensuring the strategy receives and maintains SVP-level attention and buy-in across Google.

In this senior-leadership role, you will bring deep expertise in algorithms, graph learning, safety, privacy, and anti-abuse research to the forefront of our most advanced AI projects. While you will operate on the Individual Contributor (IC) ladder, you will also manage and mentor a small, highly specialized team of PMs dedicated to this mission. You will also influence the organizational missions of partner teams to ensure cohesive execution of the foundational algorithms, safety, and privacy strategy.

Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow. From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day.

Our teams aspire to make discoveries that impact everyone, and core to our approach is sharing our research and tools to fuel progress in the field -- we publish regularly in academic journals, release projects as open source, and apply research to Google products.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $282,000-$392,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
