Job Summary
Snapshot
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery and collaborate with others on critical challenges ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.
About Us
Model distillation is a key innovation enabling the acceleration of AI turning large general models into small and specialized models used across the industry. However distillation techniques can also be used to steal critical model capabilities representing a significant threat to the intellectual property and integrity of our foundational models.
The Role
As part of the Security & Privacy Research Team at Google DeepMind you will build our first line of distillation and security defenses: a state-of-the-art detection system. You will research design and train novel classifiers to identify distillation and other security threats in real time. This is a unique opportunity to build the core detection system that protects Gemini. You will be at the forefront of defining how we monitor and protect GDM models by building the core systems that identify sophisticated threats.
Key Responsibilities
- Build Scalable Classifier Infrastructure: Design and build scalable pipelines for training and evaluating many novel classifiers.
- Train and Evaluate Classifiers: Train and evaluate classifiers for distillation detection and other key GDM security priorities.
- Own Classifier Deployment and Integration: Collaborate with model training infrastructure and deployment teams to deploy classifiers into our production models.
About You
We are looking for a research scientist research engineer or software engineer who is passionate about building the detection systems that protect the future of AI. You are an expert in machine learning with a deep focus on designing training and evaluating classifiers. You thrive on ambiguity and enjoy the challenge of iterating to achieve state-of-the-art detection capabilities.
Minimum qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related quantitative field or a B.S./M.S. in a similar field with 2 years of relevant industry experience.
- Demonstrated research or product expertise in machine learning with a focus on classifier training classifier evaluation and model evaluation.
Preferred qualifications:
- Deep expertise in training and evaluating a wide range of classifier architectures.
- Proven experience building and scaling ML training and evaluation infrastructure.
- Experience building data pipelines using LLM autoraters.
- Strong understanding of model distillation model stealing and other capability extraction techniques.
- Strong software engineering skills and experience with ML frameworks like JAX PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- A track record of landing research impact or shipping production ML systems in a multi-team environment.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $166000 - $244000 bonus equity benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
