At Deep Mind Robotics, we are dedicated to solving physical AGI. We are a team of scientists and engineers working together to advance the artificial intelligence, ultimately enabling autonomous agents to safely act in complex, human-centered environments. You will build AI agents that can interact with, learn from, and adapt to their physical/digital environments. You will own the full lifecycle from research prototype to partner deployment, advancing core learning systems, building the developer ecosystem, and working directly with partners to put intelligent robots into real environments.

The defining issue: closing the gap between what our models can do in simulation and what our robots actually do in the world. This role has a physical presence; the code you write moves robots, the systems you build help them learn, and the tools you create put them in the hands of developers worldwide.

• Build and iterate on frontier AI agents that operate in physical environments.
• Design and scale the learning infrastructure that powers embodied AI research.
• Collaborate closely with external partners to understand their environments, deploy Deep Mind solutions, and feed real-world insights back into model development.
• Build developer-facing APIs, SDKs, and tools that make our robotics capabilities accessible to external developers and partners.
