Software Engineer, AI for Secure Code

Snapshot

Work with research scientists and engineers to advance the capabilities of CodeMender , an AI agent for code security. Together, you will apply ML and advanced program analysis techniques to make software more secure.

About Us

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

The Role

AI’s cyberattack capability is increasing rapidly; recently, there has been a surge in the number of zero-day exploits found by AI in well-tested software. As we achieve more breakthroughs in AI-powered vulnerability discovery, it will become increasingly difficult for humans alone to keep up. We recently announced CodeMender , an AI agent for Code Security that helps solve this problem by taking a comprehensive approach to code security that’s both reactive, instantly patching new vulnerabilities, and proactive, rewriting and securing existing code and eliminating entire classes of vulnerabilities in the process.

As a software engineer in the CodeMender team, you will build prototypes and demos that leverage AI for code security, work with partner and client teams, and most importantly, land transformative impact for GDM and software security more broadly.

The preferred locations are Mountain View, San Francisco, or New York.

Key responsibilities :

• Developing strategies and solutions to advance the agent's abilities to solve code security challenges.
• Integrating novel agentic techniques into research prototypes.
• Building evaluation pipelines, benchmarks, and leaderboards.
• Scaling agent infrastructure and developing tools for agentic workflows.
• Working with product teams to gather research and product requirements.
• Deployment of research-based solutions to products.

About You

We seek out individuals who thrive in ambiguity and who are willing to help out with whatever moves prototypes forward. We regularly need to invent novel solutions to problems, and at times change course if our ideas don’t work out, so flexibility and adaptability to work is a must.

In order to set you up for success as a Software Engineer at Google DeepMind in our team, we look for the following skills and experience :

Experience in security and open source development is a plus.
