Research Engineer, Gemini Large Scale Pretraining, DeepMind

Google is hiring a Research Engineer for Gemini large-scale pretraining. The role supports research through software engineering, responds to issues during large-scale training, improves pretraining workflows and tooling, and helps researchers address technical challenges.

Responsibilities:

• Work on long term projects to enable new research, which involve multiple team members and require good software engineering and design
• Respond to time-sensitive issues arising in large-scale training runs, and in ongoing research
• Make systematic improvements to technical workflows and tooling used across pretraining
• Apply engineering expertise to help researchers navigate technical challenges. This requires both a deep understanding of the codebase and a broad understanding of the tech stack, the model architecture and data pipeline
• Develop the right balance between good engineering practices and having a flexible codebase which researchers find easy to use and extend
