About the job
The Creative Camera team mission is to imagine and build the future of photography and videography. Our team is reinventing digital imagery: from new algorithms for creating the highest-quality images and videos possible on mobile devices, to creating entirely new ways of capturing and reliving our experiences.
Google has established itself as an industry leader in landing innovative and impactful computational photography features. Past launches have included hero features like Add Me, Magic Editor, BestTake, Magic Eraser, and Night Sight.
Google has ambitious plans to continue to be an innovator in this field--and ensure Pixel camera continues to be seen as the biggest selling point for Pixel--while also expanding the reach of our work to other products to Google Photos and the Android Ecosystem.
Google will continue to improve mobile and server-side photography image quality, reinventing the way we capture, process, and relive moments. Our research has the potential to help define the future of photography and promote photography's continued democratization--helping all users capture the important moments in their lives.
Responsibilities
- Provide qualitative and quantitative feedback on tuning and algorithmic changes that affect image quality.
- Collect diverse training data and photos for generative AI, ML-models, and algorithms, curate diverse datasets and evaluation sets for software development.
- Be able to Beta test and evaluate real-time effects to improve features and find bugs to avoid negative brand impact/reviews.
- Help define product opportunities and set direction (identify emerging trends, identify gaps between casual smartphone and professional photography, etc.).
- Make complex, subjective aesthetic decisions (i.e. "matters of taste" and participate in UX discussions on new features).
