About the job
Google Cloud’s Data Cloud team builds the data platform behind Google’s agentic AI offerings: BigQuery, Managed Spark, borderless Lakehouse, Spanner, AlloyDB and Knowledge Catalog, integrated with Gemini Enterprise.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) on our Data Cloud team, you will be an embedded builder who bridges the gap between frontier data solutions and production-grade reality for customers. By embedding with accounts, you will serve a dual purpose: providing "white glove" deployment of complex systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real-world field insights into Google Cloud’s future product roadmap.
It's an exciting time to join Google Cloud’s Go-To-Market team, leading the AI revolution for businesses worldwide. You’ll excel by leveraging Google's brand credibility—a legacy built on inventing foundational technologies and proven at scale. We’ll provide you with the world's 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's 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.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship production data and machine learning workloads with customers, writing, testing, and performance-tuning PySpark, SQL, and Python on BigQuery, Managed Spark, Spanner, and AlloyDB.
- Stand up working proofs with customers’ data, including de-identifying sensitive data (e.g., PCI, PHI).
- Build the data foundation for agentic solutions, including lakehouse architectures, metadata and semantic context, and the access controls that let custom agents act on trusted data.
- Train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning and agentic components where they improve the customer’s business metrics, with evaluation and monitoring in place.
- Refactor and migrate high-cost analytics, Spark, and operational database workloads from other platforms onto Google Cloud engines, with measured price-performance results.
