Google DeepMind is looking for a lead threat modeler to help shape safety work for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives-related risks in advanced AI systems. This role sits within the Responsible Development and Innovation team, where the focus is on measuring and evaluating AI risk in high-consequence domains and using that work to support safer model development and release decisions. The position is described as highly operational and hands-on: the person in the role is expected to take ownership of threat models, strengthen them over time, and use them to support the Frontier Safety Framework that informs deployment choices for Google DeepMind\u00e2\u0080\u0099s most capable models.<\/p>\n

The team\u00e2\u0080\u0099s mission is to apply rigorous, real-world threat intelligence to frontier AI safety. The posting emphasizes that the work is not purely theoretical; it requires someone who can process large amounts of scientific and technical material, spot important gaps, and move quickly in a demanding environment. The broader context is Google DeepMind\u00e2\u0080\u0099s commitment to advancing AI for public benefit while keeping safety and ethics central to its work.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Develop, update, and preserve the threat modeling structure used to define key thresholds, and connect that work directly into Frontier Safety Framework review steps that guide deployment decisions.<\/li>\n
  • Work across functions to design and run evaluations that detect CBRNe-related risks in high-capability AI models.<\/li>\n
  • Partner with evaluation and mitigation teams to assess whether proposed safeguards are strong enough for advanced model deployment.<\/li>\n
  • Engage with outside stakeholders, including government organizations, external groups such as the Frontier Model Forum, and independent experts in the field.<\/li>\n
  • Keep track of the external environment, including emerging dual-use techniques and wider developments in frontier AI.<\/li>\n
  • Serve as the operational lead who builds, matures, and maintains threat models that assess and help reduce dual-use risks associated with Google DeepMind\u00e2\u0080\u0099s most advanced systems.<\/li>\n
  • Rapidly absorb and synthesize complex scientific information, identify blind spots, and execute work with discipline in a fast-moving setting.<\/li>\n
  • Bring practical threat-intelligence thinking to AI safety work at the cutting edge of model development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the role requires<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • A PhD in science, engineering, data science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.<\/li>\n
    • At least two years of experience in a national laboratory, government defense organization, military intelligence unit, or specialized research institution.<\/li>\n
    • Proven ability to explain deeply technical and high-stakes CBRNe risks in a way that is useful for business leaders, governance bodies, and policy experts.<\/li>\n
    • Experience independently running projects and combining large datasets under pressure and within tight deadlines.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to analyze complex issues using both qualitative and quantitative models when data is incomplete or uncertain.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with red-teaming and with evaluating and using large language models to uncover systematic weaknesses and possible misuse scenarios.<\/li>\n
    • Working knowledge of dual-risk issues in CBRNe domains, with particular emphasis on biological risk and laboratory\/defense settings.<\/li>\n
    • A history of reviewing dense technical reports and quickly identifying the most significant risks and vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n
    • Strong execution skills and the ability to operate as a highly reliable doer in a fast-paced environment.<\/li>\n
    • English proficiency, which Google says is required for all roles unless the posting explicitly says otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
