Forward Deployed Engineer, Gen Ai, Google Cloud

Google Google · Big Tech · Seoul, South Korea

Forward Deployed Engineer for Google Cloud's Gen AI offerings, focusing on integrating and productionizing AI systems (especially agentic workflows) for enterprise customers. This role involves managing integration complexities, data readiness, and state management, acting as a bridge between frontier AI and production reality, and providing feedback to the product roadmap.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as the lead developer for AI applications, transitioning from prototypes to production-grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi-agent systems, master control program (MCP) servers) that drive return on investment (ROI).
  2. Architect and code the connective tissue between Google’s AI products and customer's live infrastructure, including Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), legacy data silos, and security perimeters.
  3. Build evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.
  4. Identify repeatable field patterns and technical friction points in Google’s AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or formal product feature requests for the engineering teams.
  5. Co-build with customer engineering teams to instill development best practices, ensuring project success and end-user adoption.
