Research Engineer or Scientist, Veo Engineering London, UK; Zurich, Switzerland

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re 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

The role of the Research Scientist / Research Engineer will be to develop state-of-the-art methods forAI generative media models, with a primary focus on video and audio generation.

At Google DeepMind, we\’ve built a unique culture and work environment where long-term ambitious research can flourish. Our special interdisciplinary team combines the best techniques from deep learning, reinforcement learning, and systems neuroscience to build general-purpose learning algorithms. We have already made a number of high-profile breakthroughs towards building artificial general intelligence, and we have all the ingredients in place to make further significant progress over the coming year!

The Role

Research Scientists and Research Engineers at Google DeepMind lead our efforts in developing novel tools, infrastructure, and algorithms towards the end goal of solving and building Artificial General Intelligence.

Having pioneered research in the world\’s leading academic and industrial labs, PhDs, post-docs, or professorships, Research Scientists join Google DeepMind to work collaboratively within and across Research fields. They are expected to drive independent research initiatives, work with teams on large scale AI, and develop solutions to fundamental questions in machine learning and AI.

Drawing on expertise from a variety of disciplines including deep learning, computer vision, language modeling, and advanced generative architectures, our Research Scientists are at the forefront of groundbreaking research.

Key responsibilities:

• Design, rapidly implement, and rigorously evaluate cutting-edge deep learning algorithms and data curation for multimodal generative AI, with a particular emphasis on video and audio synthesis.
• Report and present research findings and developments clearly and efficiently both internally and externally, verbally and in writing.
• Suggest and engage in team collaborations to meet ambitious research goals, while also driving significant individual contributions.
• Work in collaboration with our Ethics and Governance teams to ensure our advances in intelligence are developed ethically and provide broad benefits to humanity.

About You

In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist / Engineer at Google DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience:

• PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience in deep learning research and development, particularly in generative AI and related to video and audio synthesis. This includes diffusion models and autoregressive generative models.
• Exceptional engineering skills in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., Jax, TensorFlow, PyTorch), with a track record of building high-quality research prototypes and systems.
• Strong publication record at top-tier machine learning, computer vision, and graphics conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, SIGGRAPH, CVPR, ICCV).

In addition, the following would be an advantage:

• Demonstrated experience in large-scale training of multimodal generative models.
• A keen eye for visual aesthetics and detail, coupled with a passion for creating high-quality, visually compelling generative content.
• A real passion for AI!
