Forward Deployed Engineer III, Generative AI, Google Cloud

Google is a leading technology company seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer III specializing in Generative AI within Google Cloud. This role involves bridging the gap between AI product development and production, focusing on deploying AI systems and providing critical feedback to enhance future products.

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 measurable return on investment
• 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 rigorous 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 long-term project success and high end-user adoption

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 5 years of experience with software development using Python or similar coding languages
• Experience architecting AI systems on cloud platforms (e.g., GCP)
• Experience taking production-grade AI-driven solutions from conception to launch for customers
• Experience leading technical discovery sessions with customers
• Experience building pipelines for structured and unstructured data using both vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-like architectures to power enterprise AI solutions
• Master's or PhD in AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field
• Experience implementing multi-agent systems using frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK) and patterns (e.g., ReAct, self-reflection, hierarchical delegation)
• Knowledge of LLM-native metrics (e.g., tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing
