About the job

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) in the Google Cloud Consulting organization, you will be an embedded builder who bridges the gap between frontier AI products and production-grade reality within customers. Unlike traditional advisory roles, 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 issues that prevent AI from reaching enterprise-grade maturity. By embedding with accounts, you will serve a dual purpose: providing "white glove" deployment of complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real-world field insights into Google Cloud’s future product roadmap.

It\u2019s an exciting time to join Google Cloud\u2019s Go-To-Market team, leading the AI revolution for businesses worldwide. You\'ll excel by leveraging Google\u2019s brand credibility—a legacy built on inventing foundational technologies and proven at scale. We\'ll provide you with the world\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Ireland: €150000 - €154000 (EUR) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

• Build high-performance evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.
• Identify repeatable field patterns and friction points in Google\u2019s AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or formal product feature requests for the Engineering teams.
