About the Role

At DeepMind, the Planet-Scale Resources, Infrastructure and Systems Management (PRISM) team advances AI reasoning and autonomous agentic systems by integrating research and execution. This role involves operating across the full research-and-engineering lifecycle, developing distributed post-training infrastructure and algorithms to enable Gemini models to solve complex, multi-step problems autonomously. Google DeepMind is a pioneering AI lab focused on advancing AI development for global challenges and product innovation, prioritizing safety and ethics.

Responsibilities

  • Operate across the full research-and-engineering lifecycle of frontier reasoning and agentic systems.
  • Work on unsolved problems in agentic reasoning, turning early exploratory prototypes into hardened production features for Gemini releases.
  • Architect and optimize distributed post-training pipelines and agent-environment simulation loops across thousands of accelerators.
  • Design rigorous experiments and failure analyses to isolate performance bottlenecks and communicate findings through clear write-ups.
  • Maintain high code quality and architectural health across shared reinforcement learning and modeling codebases.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4 years of experience building, scaling, and debugging machine learning models using deep learning frameworks (e.g., JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow).
  • Experience in one core area: Reinforcement Learning (RL), Post-Training (SFT/RLHF/RLAIF), Agentic Tool-Use, or Inference-Time Search.
  • PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Physics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Experience training and managing models on large-scale distributed accelerator clusters (e.g., TPUs or GPUs).
  • Experience designing asynchronous agent-environment simulation loops or large distributed post-training pipelines.
  • Experience prototyping new hypotheses quickly while keeping shared codebases clean, robust, and production-grade.
