Research Engineer on DeepMind's Polaris team, onsite in Mountain View. The work is building evaluation tasks for Gemini: prompts that ask the model to carry out long-horizon software engineering work, plus graders or rubrics that score its attempts. Polaris favours fewer, hand-built tasks over synthetic pipelines, and each task takes roughly a week. The posting asks for programming experience and familiarity with AI coding agents and LLM-based workflows; preferred is competitive programming or designing rubrics, evaluation frameworks or benchmark datasets. Pay is $147,000–$210,000 plus a 15% bonus target and equity.
