Forward Deployed Engineer, GenAI (Mandarin, English): our view in 3 lines...
- The Role:This role is for an engineer who builds bespoke generative AI solutions and connects them to production systems for enterprise customers.
- The Person:The person will code and debug bespoke agentic AI solutions inside customer environments, address integration and data readiness blockers to production, build evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks, and convert field patterns into reusable modules or product feature requests.
- Requirements:The ideal candidate has at least 1 year of software development using Python, experience architecting AI systems on cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and experience building pipelines with vector databases and Retrieval Augmented Generation style architectures.
About the role
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 1 year of experience with software development using Python or a related coding language.
- Experience architecting AI systems on cloud platforms (e.g., Google Cloud Platform (GCP)).
- Experience building pipelines for structured and unstructured data using both vector databases and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-like architectures to power enterprise AI solutions.
- Experience taking production-grade AI solutions from conception to launch for customers.
- Ability to communicate in Mandarin and English fluently in order to support the clients in this region.
Preferred qualifications:
- Master’s degree or PhD in AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- Experience implementing multi-agent systems using frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, Agent Development Kit (ADK)) and complex patterns (e.g., ReAct, self-reflection, hierarchical delegation).
- Experience leading technical discovery sessions.
- Knowledge of Large Language Models (LLM)-native metrics (e.g., tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing.
About the job
As a Generative AI (GenAI) Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Google Cloud, you will be an embedded builder who bridges the gap between frontier Artificial Intelligence (AI) products and production-grade reality within customers. You will function as an innovator-builder, moving beyond high-level architecture to code, debug, and jointly ship bespoke agentic solutions directly within the customer’s environment. You will address blockers to production including solving the integration complexities, data readiness issues, and state-management challenges that prevent AI from reaching enterprise-grade maturity. You will serve dual purpose, providing white glove deployment of complex AI systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real-world field insights into Google Cloud’s future product roadmap.It's an exciting time to join Google Cloud’s Go-To-Market team, leading the AI revolution for businesses worldwide. You’ll excel by leveraging Google's brand credibility—a legacy built on inventing foundational technologies and proven at scale. We’ll provide you with the world's most advanced AI portfolio, including frontier Gemini models, and the complete Vertex AI platform, helping you to solve business problems. We’re a collaborative culture providing direct access to DeepMind's engineering and research minds, empowering you to solve customer challenges. Join us to be the catalyst for our mission, drive customer success, and define the new cloud era—the market is yours.
Responsibilities
- 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 Return on Investment (ROI).
- Architect and code the connective tissue between Google’s AI products and customer's live infrastructure, including Application Programming Interface (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 engineering teams. Be able to co-build with customer engineering teams to instill Google-grade development best practices, ensuring long-term project success and high end-user adoption.
- Translate technical concepts to non-technical executives and Mandarin-speaking audiences.
Google will be prioritizing applicants who have a current right to work in Singapore, and do not require Google's sponsorship of a visa.
