Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related Software Engineering field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience in software development, ML engineering, or ML research.
• Experience working with research teams.

Nice to haves:

• Experience conducting or contributing to applied research to improve the safety and alignment of frontier AI systems.
• Experience with training large models (e.g., supervised finetuning, RLHF).

What you'll be doing:

• Research new alignment methods, study alignment failures, and apply AGI-scalable alignment techniques to frontier models.
• Develop AGI control systems and implement them in production.
• Research interpretability techniques to understand what AI systems are thinking.
• Work with product teams to ensure that our research is correctly adopted.

Perks and benefits:

The Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Safety and Alignment Team (ASAT) at DeepMind focuses on reducing existential and catastrophic risks from AGI and ASI. The team collaborates with Google to apply novel techniques, advise executive leadership on safety, and offers opportunities for researchers and engineers in various domains.
