Our team operates at the frontier of modern recommender systems. With a proven track record of innovating and deploying novel deep learning algorithms and systems at scale, we are currently focused on building the next-gen Large Recommendation Models by bridging the gap between LLMs and complex behavioral signals. Our research explores user & item tokenizations, continued pre-training, and advanced fine-tuning techniques to build recommendations-native foundation models. Our mission is to transform the landscape of recommendation systems using the most advanced AI technologies, delivering massive impact across Google’s flagship products.
As a Research Scientist, you will have the opportunity to build new paradigms using Large Language Models, harnessing the advanced content understanding, long-context, and reasoning capabilities. You will play a pivotal role in exploring how to integrate data from recommendation domains into foundation models, enabling new capabilities through data curation, Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning (RL) training, and more.
Key responsibilities:
We are seeking a Research Scientist who can drive new research ideas from conception and experimentation through to productionisation. In this rapidly shifting landscape, we regularly invent novel solutions to open-ended problems. You should be flexible, adaptable, and comfortable pivoting when ideas don’t work out.
In order to set you up for success as a at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience:
In addition, the following would be an advantage:
Skilled in LLM post-training algorithms and infra, with proficiency in JAX.
What We Offer
At Google DeepMind, we want employees and their families to live happier and healthier lives, both in and out of work, and our benefits reflect that. Some select benefits we offer: enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave, private medical and dental insurance for yourself and any dependents, and flexible working options. We strive to continually improve our working environment, and provide you with excellent facilities such as healthy food, an on-site gym, faith rooms, terraces etc.
We are also open to relocating candidates to Mountain View and offer a bespoke service and immigration support to make it as easy as possible (depending on eligibility).
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.
Our long term aim is to solve intelligence, developing more general and capable problem-solving systems, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Guided by safety and ethics, this invention could help society find answers to some of the world’s most pressing and fundamental scientific challenges.
We have a track record of breakthroughs in fundamental AI research, published in journals like Nature, Science, and more.Our programs have learned to diagnose eye diseases as effectively as the world’s top doctors, to save 30% of the energy used to keep data centres cool, and to predict the complex 3D shapes of proteins - which could one day transform how drugs are invented.
