Research Engineer, Chemical, Biological and Nuclear AI Safety, DeepMind: our view in 3 lines...

  • The Role:This role is for a research engineer focused on AI safety for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives risks in Gemini.
  • The Person:The person will build and test safeguards, investigate suspicious evaluation results, write production code, and launch AI safety protections while working with technical experts across science disciplines.
  • Requirements:The ideal candidate has biology, chemistry, physics, machine learning, fine tuning, large language models, incident response, statistics, research, and writing experience.

About the role

Google’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives team in Responsible Frontier Artificial Intelligence Research makes sure that as Gemini gets better at science, it does not become a tool for catastrophic harm. We are a team of engineers working alongside biologists, chemists, and physicists. Deep expertise in one field is plenty; nobody on the team covers all of them. In this role, you will do applied research, write production code, and launch the resulting safeguards to billions of users.
This role is probably not for you if you want to publish most of what you do, or if you are looking for a policy or purely research position. Expect strict data managing, tight release timelines, and an on-call rotation. You will read and debate technical material about mass-casualty harm and how to prevent it. You will dig into the small discrepancies that hint at big problems. One week you might design new safeguards; the next, find out why an evaluation result looked too good to be true, or attack our safeguards before someone else does.
Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.
We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
