- Drive the development and adoption of eval benchmarks to ensure model improvements are rigorously validated on benchmarks like SWE-bench and GDPVal.
- Build resilient pathways between DeepMind technical experts and partner product teams, ensuring a "multi-way win" where a single agentic advancement unlocks value across multiple Google surfaces.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience leading complex, organizational-level technical programs in a software development or R&D environment.
- Deep understanding of the AI model development lifecycle, including pre-training, post-training, and infrastructure constraints, especially in agentic development.
- Proven ability to manage engineering backlogs, navigate technical ambiguity, and drive execution on high-priority research strikes.
