Job Description
Snapshot
Training algorithms as well as the overall training recipes are crucial components of nearly every deep neural network pipeline. The team you would join studies optimization for deep learning hyperparameter tuning and other methodological topics in deep learning via large scale experimental research. Our goal is to generate scientific insights and create new methods that make deep learning practitioners dramatically more effective. We are not directly tied to any single product or application but instead conduct research intended to advance the state of the art in deep learning methods more generally.
About Us
At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in machine learning and artificial intelligence. We aim to develop widely beneficial technologies as well as contribute to overall understanding of machine learning systems.
The Role
As a research engineer or research scientist you will work closely with the rest of the team on cutting-edge deep learning research projects. You will design develop test deploy maintain and improve the software necessary to accomplish large-scale empirical deep learning research. Additionally you will generate hypotheses run experiments and communicate research results. Finally you will help other teams adopt the most useful insights and methods the team produces.
Key responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain deep learning research infrastructure to run large scale neural network experiments
- Implement deep learning models and training algorithms using JAX and Flax
- Train deep neural networks to achieve record-breaking results on production and academic datasets
- Conduct careful and rigorous deep learning research projects within the context of the teams research agenda and communicate the results in technical reports and presentations
- Propose new methods and research projects that align with the teams research agenda of understanding and improving the practice of deep learning
About You
We are looking for individuals passionate about improving the practice of deep learning itself by reducing the toil and guesswork in getting good results with neural networks. An ideal candidate would be comfortable adopting a skeptical and curious mindset be detail-oriented and prioritize scientific rigor. We care a great deal about what measurements we are making why we are making them and exactly how they are performed.
In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind we look for the following skills and experience:
- MSc or PhD in machine learning or a related field or equivalent industry experience.
- Strong software engineering skills and extensive experience using at least one deep learning framework such as JAX or PyTorch.
- Track record of releases publications and/or open source projects in deep learning
In addition the following would be an advantage:
- Experience using JAX specifically since it is the deep learning framework the team uses
- Research experience and accomplishments (e.g. software artifacts scientific publications etc) in neural network training dynamics training algorithms and optimizers training recipes or hyperparameter tuning
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $188000 - $230000 bonus equity benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
At Google DeepMind we value diversity of experience knowledge backgrounds and perspectives and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
