About the job
As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.
As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.
Responsibilities
- Define and pursue a long-term applied research agenda to overcome fundamental limitations of LLMs in long-horizon reasoning, planning, and tool use for complex software engineering tasks.
- Design and implement novel agentic architectures, exploring frontiers such as automated workflow optimization, multi-agent decomposition, and self-improvement.
- Lead research into synthetic data generation, verification methods/environments and rewards for building data and capability flywheels for Gemini improvement.
- Develop high-fidelity evaluation frameworks that measure agent impact to software quality and developer productivity.
- Integrate principles from adjacent domains like machine learning, natural language processing, program analysis, program repair, formal methods for addressing ambiguous tasks (such as semantic bug fixing, intent inference, task decomposition).
