From the employer's listing (short excerpt)
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Foundations Research team works on high-risk, high-reward ideas that could shape the next decade of AI. Our goal is to advance the science and data that enable our training and scaling efforts, with a particular focus on future frontier models. We push the boundaries of data, scaling laws, optimization techniques, model architectures, model + search co-design and efficiency improvements to propel our science.
The Search team sits within Foundations, building agentic search by co-designing model-system interfaces with the core search stack: serving, indexing, and retrieval. We research and develop large-scale systems that transform and index vast corpora, enabling models to most effectively find and reason over information.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Researcher to work on semi-structured knowledge graphs within Search. You’ll research and develop methods for mining structured information from heterogeneous, unstructured and semi-structured web content, making that information more accessible and useful to AI models.
The core questions are: What structure helps models find and use information? How can we extract it reliably at web scale?
