Develop and improve AI agents that generate formally verified code, algorithms, and mathematical proofs using the Lean proof assistant. Formalize the semantics of programming languages (e.g., C/C++) in Lean and build verified static analyses on top of these formalizations. Design and run experiments evaluating AI-driven proof search, including benchmarking against open problems in mathematics and real-world codebases. Build infrastructure for applying formal verification at scale, translating code, orchestrating proof search, and integrating with Google-internal tools and models.

Minimum qualifications: PhD degree in programming languages, formal methods, or a related area, or equivalent practical experience. 4 years of experience with real-world software verification and bug-finding. 3 years of experience with proof assistants (Lean, Rocq, or similar) or SMT-solvers. Preferred qualifications: Experience with formalizing the semantics of real-world languages. Track record of publications at top computer science venues.
