About this role

Senior Staff Research Scientist, Gemini Safety Post-Training, DeepMind Mountain View, CA, USA As models become more agentic, executing long-horizon tasks, using tools, writing and running code, operating across multi-step workflows, the challenge of making them safe fundamentally changes. Surface-level safety methods (output filtering, refusal tuning, policy guardrails) were designed for single-turn interactions. They are not enough for agents that plan, act, and adapt over extended horizons. We are looking for a Senior Staff Research Scientist to rethink safety post-training for this new reality. You will bring frontier post-training expertise, to develop training methods that make Gemini models deeply safe and aligned, especially in agentic settings. This role sits in Gemini Safety and partners closely with the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Safety team and the Gemini post-training organization. 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 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.
