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.

Join a collaborative and vibrant team of experts in LLMs, multimodal generation/understanding, ML efficiency, and RecSys. We focus on: 1. benchmarking and improving Gemini models across modalities to advance users' commercial journey; 2. self-improving agents to power ML modeling and innovative GenAI experiences across Gemini, Ads, Commerce, and Google. In this role, you will be driving research innovations, rapid-prototyping concepts, curating benchmarks, designing experiments, and bridging the path from research to fruition.

Some of our current projects focus on these areas:

• Natural Language & Multimodal Understanding/Generation
• Planning and reasoning
• Reinforcement Learning
• Agents

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.
