Forward Deployed Engineer II, GenAI, Google Cloud

Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
6 years of experience in building and shipping artificial intelligence solutions to external or internal customers using one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript).
Experience guiding technical discovery sessions with business stakeholders and engineering teams to define artificial intelligence and hardware infrastructure requirements.
Experience architecting artificial intelligence systems on cloud platforms (e.g., Google Cloud).
Experience building pipelines for structured and unstructured data, incorporating vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures to power artificial intelligence solutions.

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 patterns like ReAct, self-reflection, and hierarchical delegation.
Knowledge of LLM-native metrics (tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing.
About the job
As a Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Forward Deployed Engineer at Google Cloud, you will be an embedded builder bridging the gap between frontier artificial intelligence (AI) products and production-grade reality for our customers. You will function as a builder-consultant, 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 issues that prevent AI from reaching enterprise-grade maturity. By embedding with accounts, you will serve a dual purpose: providing white-glove deployment of AI systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real-world field insights into Google Cloud’s future product roadmap.It's an exciting time to join Google Cloud’s Go-To-Market team, leading the AI revolution for businesses worldwide. You’ll excel by leveraging Google's brand credibility—a legacy built on inventing foundational technologies and proven at scale. We’ll provide you with the world's most advanced AI portfolio, including frontier Gemini models, and the complete Vertex AI platform, helping you to solve business problems. We’re a collaborative culture providing direct access to DeepMind's engineering and research minds, empowering you to solve customer challenges. Join us to be the catalyst for our mission, drive customer success, and define the new cloud era—the market is yours.
Responsibilities
Serve as the primary developer for AI applications, transitioning from rapid prototypes to production-grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi-agent systems, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers) that drive measurable return on investment.
Architect and code the connective tissue between Google’s AI products and customer's live infrastructure (e.g., APIs, legacy data silos, and security perimeters).
Build high-performance evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet rigorous requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.
Identify repeatable field patterns and technical friction points in Google’s AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or product feature requests for the engineering teams.
Deliver engineering excellence by mentoring talent, co-building with customer teams, and influencing cross-functional strategies to uplevel organizational technical capabilities.
