About the Role
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) drives the on-site deployment, integration, and scaling of enterprise Generative AI solutions. This role embeds directly within customer engineering teams to operationalize Large Language Models (LLMs) and retrieval systems across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), bridging the gap between AI research and production-grade cloud infrastructure. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams and business partners, leveraging analytical skills to ensure business value and communicate results.
Responsibilities
- Develop intelligent agents using Vertex AI Agent Builder to automate complex business workflows.
- Leverage the Agent Developer Kit (ADK) to build and manage multi-agent systems that collaborate to solve end-to-end business challenges.
- Implement tools like MCP (Model Context Protocol) Toolbox to securely connect agents to enterprise databases like BigQuery and Spanner.
- Utilize Vertex AI for model training, tuning, and deployment, ensuring seamless integration with BigQuery for feature engineering.
- Build and optimize streaming data pipelines (e.g., via Dataflow) to execute real-time inference using RunInference API or Vertex AI endpoints.
- Ground AI models in live business context using vector engines within BigQuery or AlloyDB to eliminate "AI amnesia".
- Show up promptly for all internal and client-facing meetings.
- Provide regular, structured status updates to team members and stakeholders regarding project milestones and technical blockers.
- Ask for help when facing technical hurdles and contribute to a collaborative troubleshooting environment.
- Navigate corporate environments to translate high-level business goals into robust technical architectures.
Requirements
- Proven experience with Model Garden, Vertex AI Pipelines, and model evaluation.
- Advanced knowledge of SQL for BigQuery, Python for ML engineering, and data preprocessing techniques (scaling, encoding, imputation).
- Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Storage and Vertex AI endpoints.
- Familiarity with state-of-the-art real-time processing and the latest innovations in agentic architectures.
