ABOUT THE JOB:

At Google, research-focused Software Engineers are embedded throughout the

company, allowing them to setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas

quickly and broadly. Ideas may come from internal projects as well as from

collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical

institutes all over the world.

From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new

architectures, engineers work on real-world problems including artificial

intelligence, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software

performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core

search and much more. But you stay connected to your research roots as an active

contributor to the wider research community by partnering with universities and

publishing papers.

In this role, you will

• build solutions that enable us to protect the world from
• misuse of the next generation of frontier models and help defend against
• emerging cyber security risks. Capable cybersecurity models, combined with a
• sophisticated harness, you will present ongoing challenges that require better
• defenses.
• You will apply engineering, ML, RL, and cybersecurity knowledge to make software
• more secure, building both research prototypes and robust, scalable
• infrastructure.
• You will be a member of the cyberattack safety team, which is currently
• developing defenses for preventing misuse of our models for cyberattack as well
• as contributing to increasing Gemini’s capabilities for cyber defense.
• 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.
• US: $207000 - $300000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

• RESPONSIBILITIES:
• * Improve our adversarial evaluation (auto-red teaming) techniques.
• * Drive improvements for out-of-model defenses such as classifiers and
• introspection probes.
• * Collaborate with safety engineering to develop new capabilities based on
• adversarial research.
• * Contribute to increasing Gemini’s capabilities for cyber defense.
• * Gain an understanding of the path from research to production while working
• on real world problems. Your work will directly impact Gemini releases and
• users.
