Job description

The Google Public Sector Forward Deployed Engineering (GPS FDE) team is a squad of "innovator-builders" who rapidly deploy production-grade, secure AI solutions across Federal and SLED environments. Operating with a high-agency startup mindset, our engineers don’t just advise; they actively code, debug, and co-build bespoke agentic workflows directly alongside our customers. In this role, you will resolve complex integration, data sovereignty, and security issues. Ultimately, the GPS FDE team accelerates the safe, reliable adoption of generative AI across mission-critical operations while feeding field insights directly back to Google Cloud Product engineering. Google Public Sector brings the magic of Google to the mission of government and education with solutions purpose-built for enterprises. We focus on helping United States public sector institutions accelerate their digital transformations, and we continue to make significant investments and grow our team to meet the complex needs of local, state and federal government and educational institutions.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
