About The Job
When leading companies choose Google Cloud, it's a huge win for spreading the power of cloud computing globally. Once educational institutions, government agencies, and other businesses sign on to use Google Cloud products, you come in to facilitate making their work more productive, mobile, and collaborative. You listen and deliver what is most helpful for the customer. You assist fellow sales Googlers by problem-solving key technical issues for our customers. You liaise with the product marketing management and engineering teams to stay on top of industry trends and devise enhancements to Google Cloud products.

By keeping the final production end-state in mind from day one, you will advocate for our AI and cloud-native solutions to not only look great on a whiteboard but function flawlessly in their actual enterprise environment.

• Engineer functional PoV products that integrate into the customer's as-is systems to demonstrate true business value. Ensure all builds adhere strictly to engineering best practices, security standards, and scalability guidelines to ensure a smooth transition to production.
