Research Engineer, Agentic AI

Mountain View, California, US

Snapshot

We are the team that built and shipped Google Search's AI Mode from scratch to production. Now, we are embarking on our next mission to build the future of AI assistants. As a Research Scientist or Engineer on this team, you will be at the forefront of AI, tackling foundational challenges in agentic reasoning, planning, and tool use, with a clear and proven path to delivering your work to billions of users.

About Us

At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence and ship AI products at a global scale. From data curation, model training, evaluation to serving orchestration, we own end to end development of a helpful AI product. Our team has a proven track record of applying innovative techniques and creating multiple AI products from inception.

The Role

Your work will directly address some of the most critical open questions in AI today. How do we build agents that can manage long-context dialogues and tasks? How can an agent learn to orchestrate diverse tools—from web search and browsing to UI interaction and private data access—efficiently and effectively? How do we scale from a single powerful agent to a collaborative multi-agent system? You will be responsible for developing novel solutions to these questions, implementing them within our advanced research stack, and benchmarking their performance on challenging, real-world tasks.

This is a unique opportunity to build the core components of an AI that can help a user act as an expert shopping companion, help design a living room or planting planner through conversation. You will contribute to a common technical architecture that connects cutting-edge capabilities like bidirectional streaming and long-context, private data retrieval, and Deep Research, with a clear path to bring successful experiments to millions of users.

Key responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and iterate on novel models and algorithms (e.g., Agentic RL) to improve agentic tool use.
  • Tackle the core research problem on long-context reasoning.
  • Develop sophisticated agentic orchestration from data, model training to inference.
  • Explore and build advanced multi-agent systems in both Python for rapid experimentation and C++ for high-performance deployment.
  • Continuously evaluate and benchmark the models against industry standards.
  • Partner with product and engineering teams to integrate your research breakthroughs into live experimental product surfaces, directly influencing the future of Google's assistants.

About You

In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist / Research Engineer at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience:

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of professional or academic experience in machine learning or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills and experience in Python.
  • Experience with one or more deep learning frameworks (e.g., JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Experience in one of the following research areas: Reinforcement Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), Agent-based Systems, or Natural Language Processing.

In addition, the following would be an advantage:

  • A PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field, with a strong publication record in top-tier conferences.
  • Demonstrated experience building and training agentic AI systems, particularly with tool use (e.g., ReAct-style models).
  • Deep expertise in Reinforcement Learning, especially in the context of large-scale models and long-horizon tasks.
  • Experience with long-context models, context compression techniques, or state-space models.
  • Proficiency in Python/C++ for building high-performance, low-latency machine learning systems.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
