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:
X is Alphabet’s moonshot with a mission of inventing and launching “moonshot” technologies that we hope could someday make the world a radically better place. X’s early pipeline projects have the potential to transform the lives of billions of people and accrue profits to Alphabet. For X to be successful, we have to repeatedly turn breakthrough-technology ideas into products that solve large problems in the world and create meaningful business impact for Alphabet.

You will be leading the software, simulation platform, and ML platform development efforts for an early stage project at X. This includes iterating quickly through prototypes and deciding which projects to evolve into longer-term designs, as well as scaling up solutions to robust software components. This position calls for passion for early stage projects and comfort with ambiguity.
You will work closely with experimental and computational hydrodynamic engineers to identify the most impactful ways to accelerate their research. You will also work with partners inside and outside Alphabet to understand and translate their needs. Our team is developing technologies that redefine what is possible in a rapidly evolving field.
