Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

The FDE is a hybrid of a Staff Software Engineer and a Strategic Consultant. The role involves Consulting on promoting Agentic AI, using domain-specific knowledge (FS / RCPG / LSH, Manufacturing / Technology) to automate processes with Business & IT team stakeholders on the Google Cloud AI Tech Stack. It requires a solution oriented mindset to align domain-specific processes with identifying Agentic AI use cases that address customer challenges and industry trends. You will be the technical lead responsible for deploying Gemini Enterprise App and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform within client environments. You will architect and code the "connective tissue" that allows Gemini agents to reason across private enterprise silos, execute long-running workflows, and adhere to strictcorporate governance.
Key Responsibilities
• Identify customer personas and craft Agentic intervention points and Day 1 use cases for Gemini Enterprise
• Agentic Architecture: Design multi-agent systems using the Agent Development Kit (ADK), implementing patterns like hierarchical delegation and self-reflection.
• Production Implementation: Move beyond prototypes. You will write the production code that integrates Gemini agents with legacy APIs, SQL/NoSQL databases, and ERP systems (SAP, Salesforce, etc.).
• The "Grounding" Expert: Build and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using Vertex AI Search and BigQuery, ensuring agents have "zero-hallucination" access to enterprise truths.
• Governance & Security: Deploy Agent Identity and Agent Gateway protocols to ensure every AI action is auditable, secure, and compliant with regional data residency laws.
• Field-to-Product Loop: Act as the "eyes and ears" for Google’s core engineering. Identify common friction points in the Agent Platform and collaborate with product teams to build reusable "Skills" and modules.
Technical Requirements
Domain Stack Expertise: AI/ML Platform: Gemini 3.0, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Agent Studio, Vertex AI. Engineering: Python (Advanced), Go or Java, TypeScript, REST/gRPC APIs. Data Architecture: BigQuery, Vector Search, AlloyDB, Apache Beam / Dataflow. Orchestration: Agent Development Kit (ADK), LangGraph-native patterns, Kubernetes (GKE) Ops & Eval Agent Evaluation (Auto-SxS), Agent Observability, CI/CD for LLMs
