This role is ideally located in Mountain View, CA. For the right candidate, there may be an option to work from either New York City, NY, San Francisco, CA or London, UK. Snapshot Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority. About Us AI’s cyberattack capability is increasing rapidly; recently, there has been a surge in the number of zero-day exploits found by AI in well-tested software. However, fixing or hardening code often lags behind by months with human experts struggling to keep up with the long log of vulnerability reports. The danger is exacerbated by open-source models who are becoming more capable at cyberattack and are more readily available by malicious actors. The goal of our project is to leverage AI for the defense: (1) automatically fix discovered vulnerabilities and (2) harden code either through checked annotations or through transformations to safer coding practices in the same language. Our team collaborates closely with a wide variety of teams across Google/Alphabet, leveraging Google DeepMind’s expertise to deploy advanced machine learning algorithms with the goal of hardening code for Alphabet systems and beyond. The Role You will be developing an agent that leverages powerful AI models, compilers, runtimes, static/dynamic analyzers, and formal verification tools to harden code against a wide range of vulnerabilities across different programming languages and frameworks in collaboration with experts across these areas. As a part of the project, You will be rapid-prototyping initial concepts and designing and running experiments to achieve our goals. Your work will be influential both in the research community and also in products that promise to have tremendous impact. About You We seek out individuals who thrive in ambiguity and who are willing to help out with whatever moves prototypes forward. We regularly need to invent novel solutions to problems, and at times change course if our ideas don’t work out, so flexibility and adaptability to work is a must. In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience: MSc or PhD/DPhil degree in Computer Science (or relevant majors), with emphasis on ML, or equivalent practical experience. Proven knowledge and experience of C/C++ and Python. Strong, hands-on experience with LLMs (e.g., (RL) fine-tuning, inference, prompting, agent development). Experience designing and developing evaluation benchmarks and implementing scalable evaluation pipelines. Proven experience with prominent ML frameworks and tools. Hands-on experience with AI-based code generation or editing tools. In addition, the following would be an advantage: Experience with developer tools (compilers, runtimes, dynamic/static analyzers, web frameworks, ... ). Significant success with project(s) building AI tools for code, either as research publications at top PL/systems/AI venues, as an artifact developed at a company, or as open source artifact(s) Familiarity with well-known code security practices. Passion for the mission above The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $166,000 - $244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
