Unlike traditional engineers who focus primarily on internal product cycles, FDEs work \"at the front lines,\" embedding themselves within the technical ecosystems of our most complex and high-impact partners. Your mission is to ensure that Google's geospatial technology solves real-world business problems at scale.\nBy embedding with strategic accounts, you serve a dual purpose: providing \"white glove\" deployment of complex Geospatial AI systems and acting as a critical feedback loop, transforming real-world field insights into Google Maps Platforms future product roadmap.\nThe Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.\nThe Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.\nIndividual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.US: $174000 - $252000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits\nLearn more about benefits at Google.\nResponsibilities\nServe as a 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.\nArchitect and code the connective tissue between Google’s AI products and customer's live infrastructure, including APIs, legacy data silos, and security perimeters as part of an expert team.\nBuild high-performance evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet rigorous requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.\nIdentify repeatable field patterns and friction points in Google’s AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or formal product feature requests for engineering teams.\nBe able to co-build with customer engineering teams to instill Google-grade development best practices, ensuring long-term project success and high end-user adoption.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n5 years of experience with software development using Python or similar coding languages.\nExperience taking production-grade AI-driven solutions from conception to launch for customers.\nExperience leading technical discovery sessions with customers.\nExperience building pipelines for structured and unstructured data using both vector databases and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-like architectures to power enterprise AI solutions.\nPreferred qualifications:\nMaster’s degree or PhD in AI, Computer Science, or a related technical field.\nExperience implementing multi-agent systems using frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK) and patterns (e.g., ReAct, self-reflection, hierarchical delegation).\nKnowledge of LLM-native metrics (e.g., tokens/sec, cost-per-request) and techniques for optimizing state management and granular tracing.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3554,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Streaming & OTT Platforms","Foundation Models","Consumer Internet Groups"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:14:42Z"}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:7","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-27T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-forward-deployed-engineer-iii-generative-ai-geo","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-forward-deployed-engineer-iii-generative-ai-geo.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T03:02:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1876,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3124,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
