Google’s Forward Deployed Engineer III for the Cloud GTM team in Zurich is a hands-on, client-facing role turning rapid AI prototypes into production-grade agentic workflows, connecting Google’s AI products with customer live infrastructure, and building evaluation and observability pipelines to ensure accuracy, safety, and latency. Requirements include a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, two years of software development or one year with an advanced degree, one year in ML infrastructure, familiarity with GenAI techniques, and fluency in French or German. Preferred: MS or PhD, experience with multi-agent frameworks, LLM-native metrics, and secure workflows. To apply, quantify ROI on projects, highlight collaboration with customer engineers, and show language skills and onsite readiness in Zurich.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages, or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree.
  • 1 year of experience with ML infrastructure (e.g., model deployment, model evaluation, optimization, data processing, debugging).
  • Experience with GenAI techniques (e.g., LLMs, Multi-Modal, Large Vision Models) or with GenAI-related concepts (language modeling, computer vision).
  • Ability to communicate in French or German fluently to support client relationship management in this region.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's or PhD degree in AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • Experience implementing multi-agent systems using frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, or Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK)) and complex patterns like ReAct, self-reflection, and hierarchical delegation.
  • Knowledge of "Large Language Model (LLM)-native" metrics (tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing.
  • Ability to implement secure agentic workflows incorporating MCP, tool-calling, and OAuth-based authentication.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the lead developer for complex AI applications, transitioning from rapid prototypes to production-grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi-agent systems, model context protocol (MCP) servers) that drive measurable Return on investment (ROI).
  • Architect and code the "connective tissue" between Google’s AI products and customer's live infrastructure, including APIs, legacy data silos, and security perimeters.
  • Build high-performance evaluation (Eval) pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet rigorous requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.
  • Identify repeatable field patterns and technical "friction points" in Google’s AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or formal product feature requests for the Engineering teams.
  • Co-build with customer engineering teams to instill Google-grade development best practices, ensuring long-term project success and high end-user adoption.
