About the Job

Requirements

  • A PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience is required.
  • Experience in machine learning, adversarial machine learning, or evaluating frontier AI systems, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, machine learning interpretability, adversarial robustness, machine learning safety, generative models, agentic AI, or multi-objective optimization is required.
  • At least one scientific publication submission to a conference, journal, or public repository is required.

Responsibilities

  • Drive foundational machine learning research in model robustness, continual learning, interpretability, and multi-objective optimization to advance trustworthy AI.
  • Design and develop rigorous evaluation protocols, scenario-based benchmarks, and stress-testing methodologies to assess frontier AI capabilities and multi-agent consensus.
  • Curate advanced datasets and conduct fine-tuning or optimization experiments to enhance model resilience against emerging threats and ensure adherence to safety constraints.
  • Collaborate with regional engineering hubs, core product teams, and academic partners to transition theoretical proofs of concept into robust production solutions.
  • Publish research in machine learning venues and participate in academic and industry research communities.
  • Develop innovative machine learning techniques, continual learning, and interpretability approaches to prevent safety drift and enhance intrinsic model robustness.
  • Co-develop advanced evaluation benchmarks with academic institutions and global engineering teams to support next-generation trustworthy AI capabilities.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with general-purpose programming languages such as Python.
  • Experience investigating emerging technical threats, such as automated scams, deepfake generation, or rogue agent vulnerabilities, and designing proactive defense mechanisms.
  • Expertise in adversarial machine learning, AI agent security, data poisoning, prompt injection, and model backdoor detection.
  • A background applying a security mindset to artificial intelligence, including debugging complex machine learning failure modes, reverse engineering model behaviors, and red-teaming frontier AI systems.
  • First-authored publications in top machine learning, safety or security tracks in machine learning or AI conferences, or HCI conferences.

About the Company

Google

Runs Search and YouTube and builds Gemini AI

Google runs the world's most used search engine and free services such as YouTube, Android, and Gmail, and it builds the Gemini AI models that work inside them. In 2017, its researchers invented the transformer, the neural network design behind ChatGPT and most other AI chatbots. People use these services without paying, and Google earns most of its money from ads placed beside search results and YouTube videos. Businesses rent computing power and Gemini models through Google Cloud, and Google also sells subscriptions and Pixel phones. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998 as Stanford PhD students; it is based in Mountain View, California, United States, and is the main business of parent company Alphabet.
