Senior Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, GenAI, Google Cloud

Job description

Minimum qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 8 years of experience shipping production-grade AI-driven solutions to external or internal customers. Experience building full-stack solutions that interface with enterprise systems. Experience in Python. Experience architecting AI systems on cloud platforms. Experience leading technical discovery sessions with executive stakeholders (C-suite) and engineering teams to define AI and hardware infrastructure requirements.

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 "Large Language Model-native" metrics (tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing. Ability to implement secure agentic workflows incorporating Model Context Protocol (MCP), tool-calling, and OAuth-based authentication.

About the job As a Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Forward Deployed Engineer at Google Cloud, you will be an embedded builder who bridges the gap between frontier Artificial Intelligence (AI) products and production-grade reality within customer environments. Unlike traditional advisory roles, you will function as a "builder-consultant," moving beyond architecture to code, debug, and jointly ship bespoke agentic solutions.

This role is designed for high-agency engineers with a founder’s mindset. You will solve the integration complexities, data readiness, 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 and acting as a critical feedback loop for 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 grow 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.
