ABOUT THE JOB:

It’s a fascinating time for geospatial understanding. The confluence of GenAI

disruption with an increased proliferation of sensor sources means there are

ways more inputs create a useful and compelling world model, plus a step change

in the technological capabilities that unlock doing so at scale.

In this role, you will

• work cross-functionally to update our portfolio of
• sensor-derived 2D, 2.5D, and 3D products. You will connect technical feasibility
• with client needs and break down complex problems into steps that drive product
• development.
• This role requires bringing AI, automation, research partnerships, and novel
• exploratory work to bear the top geospatial use-cases of our time and the
• future. The next generation of maps is being built in 3D and will be a shared
• canvas for emerging internal experiences and industry solutions that span
• everything from navigation to public sector planning to environmental science.
• It will require higher resolution, freshness, and coverage.
• The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful
• maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps
• Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps
