Choose the right perspective
Match the person's area to your question, since post-training, agents and tool use, personalization and search applications are different kinds of machine learning work. Check whether the person joined Google DeepMind recently or moved over from another Google team, and which office the role sits in.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What does a machine learning engineer working on post-training spend most of the week doing?

- 03How does machine learning engineering for agents and tool use differ from earlier model work?
Reaching Google DeepMind machine learning engineers
How can I contact one of these Google DeepMind machine learning engineers?
Pick one of the 10 people on this page and choose "Book a paid call", or describe your project to find others. You offer a fee for a 15-minute call or a written answer, Instant Expert finds the person's work email and sends the invitation, and they decide whether to accept. The list covers 1 company: Google DeepMind, based on profile data retrieved on October 15, 2026. Being listed here doesn't mean someone has agreed to take calls.
How much does it cost to reach Google DeepMind machine learning engineers?
You choose the offer, starting at $5 per person. The offer is what the person receives, and Instant Expert's fee is added on top, so a $100 offer costs you $125. The fee is 20% of what you pay. You're charged only when the person books the call or sends the answer.
What if they don't reply?
You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released. You can invite several of the 10 people on this list at once and cap your total spend, so you pay only for the ones who accept.
Can an AI agent ask one of these Google DeepMind machine learning engineers a question?
Yes. An agent with a USDC wallet on Base can ask one question without an Instant Expert account. It names the person, for example by the LinkedIn URL on this page, and pays per ask over x402 (HTTP 402). The person answers in writing or by voice note, and if nobody answers within 7 days, the payment goes back to the wallet automatically. x402 docs
