Research Scientist, Gemini Horizon, DeepMind

Research Scientist, Gemini Horizon, DeepMind DeepMind Mountain View, CA, USA PhD degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 1 year experience with Generative AI, Large Language Models, natural language processing, or Agent-based systems. 1 year of experience working on modern large language model post-training (e.g., SFT, RLHF, DPO, PPO), model alignment, or core generative model development in an industry AI lab, research institute, or frontier AI organization. Preferred qualifications: Experience with reinforcement learning for LLM post-training. About the job As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more. As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world. Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority. We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $147000 - $210000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits Learn more about benefits at Google . Improve Gemini with new Reinforcement Learning (RL) environments, evaluations, changes to the RL recipe, or ideas. Explore domains where Gemini should be superhuman (e.g., security, hardware, performance engineering, scientific computing, or something we have not thought of) and build the evaluations that show the gap is real. Invent new ways of manufacturing hard problems and the graders that make them verifiable. Evaluate and train Gemini on your environments, read the trajectories to see what it is actually learning, and land what transfers into production. Contribute to identifying and delivering breakthroughs for Gemini. Google is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
