About the role

Research Engineer role focused on building next-generation safety mitigations for frontier models, including end-to-end defenses against severe risks, with applied, scale-oriented responsibilities within the Gemini Safety team.

Responsibilities

  • Build advanced classifiers and data pipelines to detect misuse, owning the end-to-end process from automated evaluation to rapid model iteration.
  • Build cross-context monitoring systems to detect coordinated harms, developing novel signal aggregation methods across disparate user sessions to identify large-scale attack vectors.
  • Implement data-driven, semi-automated account-level response systems to detect, track, and apply strikes against persistent malicious actors using rich signals from production traffic.
  • Evaluate and secure agentic AI systems by developing threat models, creating testing environments, and deploying robust mitigations against frontier-level agentic hacking and long-horizon attacks.
  • Advance research in automated red-teaming and adversarial robustness, leveraging multi-turn/agentic attacks to systematically test for and uncover misuse vulnerabilities.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages.
  • 3 years of experience testing, maintaining, or launching software products, and 1 year of experience with software design and architecture.
