Staff Research Scientist, Gemini Research, DeepMind

Job description

Minimum qualifications

PhD in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 4 years of experience with research agendas across multiple teams or projects. One or more scientific publication submission(s) for conferences, journals, or public repositories. Experience working with deep learning frameworks (e.g., JAX/Flax, PyTorch) for distributed systems and accelerator clusters.

Preferred qualifications

2 years of experience in coding and leading multiple research efforts and influencing research direction. About the job Just as grading olympiad proofs takes someone who can solve olympiad problems, judging an AI-proposed change to a frontier training algorithm takes a researcher who could have invented it. In this role, you are that researcher. You will invent new machine learning (ML) architectures, optimizers, and training methods, and build the systems that let Gemini propose, implement, and test such changes on its own.

As the team's final technical verifier, you will decide which AI-generated ideas are real advances and carry the winners into next-generation Gemini models. This is a deep individual-contributor role. You'll combine original research in ML algorithm and architecture design with engineering across the full stack, from model code and accelerator kernels to distributed training and evaluation. 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.
