Brief

Neel Nanda (tweet, 2026-08-02) says GDM AGI Safety's hiring round mandates agent-capable engineering interviews because engineers will work with agents daily. He criticizes other employers for omitting agent-coding assessments, warns Google is bottlenecked on people for AGI risk reduction, and invites applicants to open roles on all subteams in London, the Bay Area, and beyond.

Source evidence

One part of the GDM AGI Safety hiring round I feel particularly good about is that all our eng interviews allow agents!

I find it wild how many places still do no agent coding interviews. You'll be working with agents all day on the job, you should be interviewed accordingly!

There's lots to do to reduce risks from AGI at Google, but we're bottlenecked on people. If you want to help, please apply!

I really love this team and my excellent colleagues. I'm excited to hire more!
