Responsibilities

• 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.
