About the job As an AI Forward Deployed Developer at Google Cloud, you will be an embedded builder bridging frontier AI products with production‑grade reality within customer environments. Unlike traditional advisory roles, you will function as an innovator‑builder, moving beyond high‑level architecture to code, debug, and jointly ship bespoke agentic solutions directly within the customer’s environment.

You will manage blockers to production, solving integration complexities, data readiness issues, and state‑management issues that prevent AI from reaching enterprise‑grade maturity. By embedding with accounts, you will serve a dual purpose: providing deployment of AI systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real‑world field insights into Google Cloud’s future product roadmap.

The Canada base salary range for this full‑time position is CAD 114,000–117,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise‑grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting‑edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities Serve as the lead developer for AI applications, transitioning from rapid prototypes to production‑grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi‑agent systems, MCP servers) that drive measurable return on investment.

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 pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet 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 product feature requests for the development teams.

Drive technical excellence by mentoring talent, co‑building with customer teams, and influencing cross‑functional strategies to uplevel organizational technical capabilities.
