Research Scientist, AQUA, DeepMind
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 are seeking a highly motivated and 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 Artificial General Intelligence. You will work collaboratively within and across Research fields, and will develop solutions to fundamental questions in machine learning and AI.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.
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!
