The AGI Safety and Alignment team at Google DeepMind is Hiring (July 2026)
GDM’s AGI Safety and Alignment Team is hiring for multiple roles, across all areas in this post on our recent work . This is the team at GDM, led by Rohin Shah , that aims to reduce existential risks from AI systems. You can listen to many of Rohin’s takes in his podcast on 80,000 hours . There is no one ‘type’ that we are looking for—we want excellent people. We think of the role as ‘member of technical staff’ though different people will have more of a research engineer or scientist flavour. We are flexible on location though most people will be most productive in either San Francisco or London. You should apply here (for the US) or here (for the UK) after reading the guidance here . Many of the basic facts about why ASAT is a good place to work and how we think about research are mostly unchanged since this post in 2025. What do we do? We are focused on risks of more severe harms from more advanced AI than the rest of GDM. You can read our high level AGI Safety and Security Approach . Our work includes aligning AGI, defending against misaligned deployments, and supporting coordinated safety. We’ve recently shared a recap of some of our recent work , which gives a better sense of what we do in practice. Deep alignment and stress testing are relatively new areas for us, created in response to increased capabilities, so in those areas there will likely be more flux in exactly what we do. We cover parts of our overall alignment approach and research directions in 5 minute tal…
