Job description

As a GenAI Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Google Cloud, you are an embedded builder who bridges the gap between frontier AI products and production-grade reality within customers. Unlike traditional advisory roles, you function as an innovator-builder, moving beyond high-level architecture to code, debug, and jointly ship bespoke agentic solutions directly within the customer's environment.

In this role, you will manage blockers to production including solving the integration complexities, data readiness issues, and state-management challenges that prevent AI from reaching enterprise-grade maturity. By embedding with strategic accounts, you serve a dual purpose: providing white glove deployment of complex AI systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real-world field insights into Google Cloud's future product road map.

Qualifications

Job responsibilities

Serve as a developer for complex AI applications, transitioning from rapid prototypes to production-grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi-agent systems, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers) that drive Return on Investment (ROI).
Architect and code the connective tissue between Google's AI products and customer's live infrastructure, including APIs, legacy data silos, and security perimeters as part of an expert team.
Build high-performance evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet the requirements for accuracy, safety and latency.
Identify repeatable field patterns and friction points in Google's AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or formal product feature requests for the Engineering teams.
Co-build with customer engineering teams to instill Google-grade development best practices, ensuring project success and end-user adoption.

Minimum qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
3 years of experience building and shipping production-grade AI-driven solutions to external or internal customers using Python, Typescript, or similar languages.
Experience leading technical discovery sessions with business stakeholders and engineering teams to define AI and hardware infrastructure requirements.
Experience building pipelines for structured, unstructured data, incorporating vector databases and RAG-like architectures to power enterprise-grade AI solutions.
Experience architecting AI systems on cloud platforms (e.g., Google Cloud Platform (GCP)).

Preferred qualifications

Master's degree or PhD in AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
Experience implementing multi-agent systems using frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, or Google's ADK) and complex patterns like ReAct, self-reflection, and hierarchical delegation.
Knowledge of LLM-native metrics (e.g., tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing.
