Job description

  • 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.

Requirements

Experience driving progress, solving problems, and mentoring more junior team members; deeper expertise and applied knowledge within relevant area., * 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 "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.
