Staff Research Scientist/Engineer, Consumer Agents Post Training, DeepMind

DeepMind is seeking a Staff Research Scientist or Engineer to focus on developing Consumer Agents through post-training and personalization techniques. The role involves researching and scaling methods that transform foundational models into autonomous agents, emphasizing reinforcement learning, targeted data creation, and persistent context architectures. Daily tasks will include building training datasets, creating evaluation frameworks, and testing long-horizon reasoning to ensure agent reliability in complex workflows. Candidates should have expertise in core modeling and post-training processes, with a strong background in deep learning and large language models (LLMs). The position is suited for individuals with experience in research and development, particularly those who can drive projects from hypothesis to delivery. The job is based in Mountain View, CA, and does not specify a working arrangement. This role is not ideal for those with a primary focus on machine learning infrastructure.
