In this role, you will invent novel neural architectures, graph encoders, and agentic retrieval methods that bring relational reasoning to foundation models at massive scale. You will collaborate closely with partners across Google Research, Google DeepMind, and core product teams to translate theoretical breakthroughs into production-grade frameworks and next-generation AI capabilities. As a part of the Graph Neural Network (GNN) team, you will bridge relational structure and deep learning, making it seamless to integrate graph-structured data into neural networks and foundation models at massive scale. As a part of the team, you will conduct fundamental research and build production-grade frameworks to train and deploy these models over complex, heterogeneous graphs. Recently, the team's work has expanded into generative AI, developing structured data encoders, graph tokens, hybrid graph-sequence architectures, and graph-based retrieval and agentic systems to enhance Large Language Models (LLMs). 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.
