The Impact of an AI Engineer at Coupa

We are seeking a hands-on Agentic AI Developer / AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy generative AI solutions leveraging Google Cloud's AI ecosystem. This role is a core part of our AI Delivery Build team, responsible for translating business challenges into production-ready AI agents and solutions using Google ADK (Agent Developer Kit), Vertex AI, and related Google Cloud services that create measurable business value. This position combines deep technical expertise with practical execution on Google's AI platform, ensuring that our agentic AI solutions are well-designed, robustly built, and successfully deployed. The Agentic AI Developer will partner closely with business stakeholders, QA Specialists, and Cloud Engineers to build, test, and scale responsible AI solutions from concept to production within the Google Cloud environment.

What You'll Do

• Design & Build with Google ADK: Design, develop, test, and deploy autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents using Google ADK, Vertex AI Agent Builder, and agentic patterns to address key business challenges.
• Vertex AI Implementation: Leverage Vertex AI capabilities including model training, fine-tuning, vector search, and orchestration to build production-grade AI solutions that integrate seamlessly with enterprise systems.
• End-to-End Development: Own the end-to-end technical lifecycle of AI projects on Google Cloud Platform, from initial proof-of-concept and prototyping through to production deployment using Vertex AI Pipelines, monitoring with Vertex AI Model Monitoring, and continuous iteration.
• Google Cloud Integration: Build integrations between AI agents and Google Cloud services including BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, and enterprise data sources to enable intelligent automation across the organization.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with business stakeholders to understand requirements and collaborate closely with QA Specialists and Cloud Engineers to ensure solutions are reliable, scalable, and seamlessly integrated within GCP infrastructure.
• Responsible AI Implementation: Implement, test, and monitor safeguards for AI agents using Vertex AI's responsible AI tools to mitigate risks, including bias detection, model explainability, compliance monitoring, and operational limits. Ensure solutions are fair, explainable, and robust.
• Agentic Architecture with ADK: Contribute to the architecture and selection of frameworks, tools, and orchestration logic using Google ADK and Vertex AI to build, manage, and scale multi-agent systems effectively.
• Iterate & Improve: Monitor agent performance in production using Vertex AI monitoring tools, gather feedback, and iteratively improve models, prompts, grounding strategies, and agent logic to drive successful adoption and business impact.
