Research Scientist, AQUA, DeepMind (India)

Research Scientist, AQUA, DeepMind Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Minimum Qualifications PhD degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 2 years of experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., JAX, TensorFlow, or PyTorch). Experience with advanced deep learning and reinforcement learning. Publication record in machine learning conferences or journals (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, KDD, AAAI). Preferred Qualifications Experience with multimodal learning, large language models, or assistive AI agents. Experience with prompt engineering, few-shot learning, post-training techniques, and evaluations. Familiarity with large-scale model training and deployment. Robust programming skills in Python or similar languages. Excellent communication and collaboration skills. About the Job The Agents team at DeepMind India is driven by the mission of developing foundational capabilities in Large Models towards realizing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). We focus on uncovering emergent agentic behaviors through novel reinforcement learning algorithms run at scale. We also apply our research advances to Gemini and critical product launches in Google, touching the lives of hundreds of millions of users, and we are looking forward to doing more! We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join our team in Bengaluru, focused on advancing in autonomous agents through reinforcement learning and ML optimization methods. In this role, you will conduct research on large language models (LLMs), focusing on the development of more capable autonomous agents. You will lead our efforts in developing novel algorithmic architecture towards the end goal of solving and building Artificia Research Scientist, AQUA, DeepMind Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Minimum Qualifications PhD degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 2 years of experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., JAX, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).
