Research Scientist, Reasoning and Artificial General Intelligence, Deepmind

Google Google · Big Tech · Singapore

Research Scientist at Google DeepMind focusing on Reasoning and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), working on RL for pre-training and reasoning, math/code breakthroughs, and improving Gemini. The role involves conducting critical research in RL and reasoning, proposing new algorithms, scaling compute, and acting as launch/model captains for Gemini.

What you'd actually do

  1. Conduct critical research in RL and reasoning by proposing new RL algorithms, scaling RL or inference time compute for improving Gemini.
  2. Serve as Gemini launch captains, acting as launch/model captains and training models to directly contribute to Gemini landings.
  3. Anticipate where the next game changers will come from, staying mindful of upcoming research breakthroughs, and build research agendas based on new paradigms to execute on them.
  4. Execute on promising research agendas by working as a team.
  5. Collaborate with other Gemini core teams, mostly based in the US and UK.
