Lead System Engineer - Google Forward Deployed Engineer

EPAM Systems Inc; India; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 3,200,000; Full time

Job summary

EPAM Systems Inc in India is seeking senior AI engineers to design, develop, and deploy production-grade multi-agent systems using Gemini Enterprise, ADK, and related tooling. You will determine when Pro Code vs No Code is appropriate based on client data and problems, and build agents integrated with Google Workspace and NotebookLM for enterprise research and automation.

You will also architect scalable memory and state management, ensure secure IAM/OIDC access, and drive CI/CD for agent

Qualifications

• 7-13 years of overall IT experience, including 4 to 6+ years in software development, cloud solution architecture, and AI engineering, preferably on GCP.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy production-grade Multi-Agent Systems and agentic workflows using Gemini Enterprise.
• Identify the need for Pro Code vs No Code design based on customer's problem statement and data sources.
• Build and deploy custom agents using the ADK and Agent Platform AI Reasoning Engine, and integrate them with Gemini Enterprise.
• Build native integrations across the Google Workspace Ecosystem and NotebookLM for grounded enterprise research, document automation, and conversational discovery.
• Architect scalable short-term session storage, conversation state persistence, and long-term memory architectures across multi-agent interactions.
• Implement end-to-end authentication and authorization perimeters for agents, GCP services, and 3rd-party SaaS integrations using IAM, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and service identities.
• Enforce fine-grained ACLs, user/group permission inheritance, and data governance policies to ensure agents strictly adhere to enterprise access boundaries.
• Utilize developer tooling including Agent CLI and Antigravity for local rapid prototyping, testing, emulation, distributed tracing, and RCA.
• Architect HITL workflows, ensuring seamless Interrupt and Resume patterns between autonomous agents and human experts for critical decision points.
• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines to manage versioned agent deployments, automated testing, and continuous regression evaluations.
• Implement advanced reasoning patterns such as Chain-of-Thought (CoT), ReAct, Plan-and-Solve, and Self-Reflection to enhance agent reliability.
• Collaborate directly with client engineering and architecture teams to deploy, validate, and operationalize enterprise agentic AI solutions in client environments.
