Research Scientist, Reasoning & AGI, Google DeepMind

Additional Job Description

We are looking for research scientists to work with us on humanity's critical path to AGI. We work on reasoning, RL and Deep Think to not only improve Gemini but also make significant breakthroughs for science and humanity. This is an amazing opportunity to be at the frontier of AI from Singapore. 

The Gemini core team will work on RL (for pre-training and reasoning), frontier-level math/code and push the bleeding edge of AI. This team is tightly coupled with the Gemini core teams in Mountain View, has incredible talent density, and is well positioned to make a significant impact on humanity, science and Google in general. The team was also behind the Gemini Deep Think breakthrough that achieved the gold medal standard at the International Math Olympiad (IMO).

Job responsibilities

• Conduct critical research in RL and reasoning: Propose new RL algorithms, scaling RL and/or inference time compute for improving Gemini. 

• Serve as Gemini launch captains: Serve as launch/model captains and train models to directly contribute to Gemini landings. 

• Innovate and leapfrog: Anticipate where the next game changers will come from and be always mindful about the next big research breakthroughs. Build research agendas based on new paradigms and execute on them.

• Execute on research agenda: Work as a team to execute on promising research agendas. 

• Collaborate with Gemini core teams: Collaborate with other Gemini core teams that are mostly based in the US and UK.

Minimum qualifications

• PhD degree in Computer Science/any STEM related field or equivalent practical experience.

• Strong coding & engineering ability.

• Relevant experience with LLMs.

• Relevant experience with RL and reasoning.

Preferred qualifications

• Proven track record of impactful research or engineering. 

• Exceptional achievements in any domain (research, engineering or any others), normalized by circumstances.
