As a GenAI Forward Deployed Engineer at Google Cloud, we are looking for an embedded builder who bridges the gap between frontier AI products and production-grade reality for our customers. In this builder-consultant role, you will work directly within customer environments to code, debug, and jointly ship bespoke agentic solutions, while helping remove blockers such as integration complexity, data readiness issues, and state-management challenges. By embedding with accounts, we provide white-glove deployment of AI systems and a feedback loop that turns real-world field insights into our future product roadmap. You will join Google Clouds Go-To-Market team with access to our Gemini models, Vertex AI platform, and collaboration with DeepMinds engineering and research minds. We are an equal opportunity workplace and affirmative action employer committed to employment opportunities for all qualified applicants.
