As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies.

From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.

As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.

In this role, you will conduct research within the area of user-facing conversational and agentic systems. You will develop novel modeling and algorithmic techniques that advance in the design and deployment of user-facing interactive systems, including research in at one or more related areas, such as user modeling and simulation, multi-turn optimization and reinforcement learning, agent (including multiagent) architectures, recommender systems.

You will collaborate broadly with other Researchers, Software Engineers, Research Software Engineers and Product Managers to translate research and prototypes into robust, scalable, and production-ready AI systems.

Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we’re working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software developers and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
