Google Cloud Consulting Forward Deployed Engineer, Generative Ai, Google Cloud

Google Google · Big Tech · Dublin, Ireland

Google Cloud is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) specializing in Generative AI. This role involves embedding with customers to build and deploy bespoke agentic AI solutions, bridging the gap between frontier AI products and production realities. Responsibilities include developing agentic workflows, integrating AI products with customer infrastructure, building evaluation pipelines, and providing feedback to product teams. The role requires software development experience, cloud platform expertise, and experience with RAG and vector databases, with preferred experience in multi-agent systems and LLM optimization.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as the lead 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 (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.
  3. Build high-performance evaluation (Eval) pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet rigorous 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 Google-grade development best practices, ensuring long-term project success and high end-user adoption.
