About the job
Google Cloud’s mission is to make every business successful through AI by combining cutting-edge technology, infrastructure, and talent. AI/ML software engineers in Cloud bridge the gap between pioneering models and a massive product vehicle reaching billions. Our talent density and AI-powered tools drive rapid development, rooted in a culture of empowerment and a bias to action. In this role, you aren’t just building technology; you’re shaping the frontier of enterprise and driving the evolution of advanced models.We are dedicated to simplifying the creation, deployment, and management of production-grade AI agents. By building and supporting a comprehensive, open-source, multi-language ecosystem-highlighted by our agent development kit (ADK) and related agentic protocols we serve developers both inside and outside of Google. Our work is pivotal to forging a unified and powerful GenAI landscape for the entire developer community.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will drive the technical goals, strategy, and architecture for the open-source components and tooling of our AI Agent ecosystem, including the agent development kit (ADK). You will lead the design and development of foundational libraries, SDKs, and developer tools, managing ambiguous issues to enhance the end-to-end agent development lifecycle.
This role requires technical leadership to influence and collaborate with internal, external, and cloud platform teams, shaping the roadmap and ensuring seamless integration and deployment of AI agents.
You will be a key technical voice, mentoring engineers, setting standards for engineering excellence, and driving long-term investments to scale the platform and empower a vibrant developer community.
