Forward Deployed Engineer Iii, Generative Ai, Google Cloud

Google Google · Big Tech · Dublin, Ireland

Forward Deployed Engineer III for Generative AI on Google Cloud, focused on building and shipping bespoke agentic solutions for enterprise customers. This role involves integrating Google's AI products (like Gemini and Vertex AI) into customer environments, addressing integration complexities, data readiness, and state management. Responsibilities include developing production-grade agentic workflows, architecting connective tissue between AI products and customer infrastructure, building evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks, identifying field patterns for product improvement, and co-building with customer teams. Requires strong software development skills (Python), experience with cloud AI systems, RAG, vector databases, and leading technical discovery. Preferred experience includes multi-agent systems and LLM-native metrics.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as a developer for complex AI applications, transitioning from rapid prototypes to production-grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi-agent systems, MCP servers) that drive measurable ROI.
  2. 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.
  3. Build high-performance evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.
  4. 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.
  5. Co-build with customer engineering teams to instill Google-grade development best practices, ensuring long-term project success and high end-user adoption.
