Full Job Description
Minimum qualifications:
  • PhD in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience developing autonomous agents, multi-agent workflows, or agentic frameworks (e.g., AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, tool-use/function-calling, or multi-agent RL).
  • Experience designing, pre-training, fine-tuning, or evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) and multimodal foundation models.
  • Experience writing code in Python, JavaScript, R, Java, or C .
  • One or more first-author scientific publication submission(s) on agents in machine learning and natural language processing for conferences, journals, or public repositories (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP).

Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience building evaluation benchmarks, test harnesses, or simulation environments for complex reasoning, code generation, or multimodal tasks.
  • Experience in RL, reward modeling, and human/AI preference alignment techniques (e.g., RLHF, RLAIF, DPO).
  • Experience developing test-time/inference-time compute scaling methods, search-guided decoding, or planning algorithms.
  • Experience developing safe and reliable AI systems, including adversarial, hallucination mitigation, alignment guardrails, model interpretability.


Responsibilities
  • Develop agent architectures, planning frameworks, and self-improving foundation models to advance autonomous AI systems.
  • Design and deliver vertical agents across core domains (e.g., infrastructure, forecasting, and optimization) targeting operational efficiencies.
  • Build generalizable horizontal agents to accelerate researcher velocity and automate end-to-end business value generation across Google.
  • Partner with product and engineering teams to translate novel agentic prototypes into scalable enterprise solutions and products.
  • Publish breakthroughs at ML conferences, establish benchmarks, and collaborate across Google.
