About the role
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Applied AI Engineering team helps developers and enterprises deploy generative AI safely and effectively. We serve as trusted technical advisors, helping customers and partners move from early experimentation to production-scale AI systems.
As a Partner Applied AI Engineer focused on Google Cloud, you will help customers build with OpenAI in the cloud environment they already use. You will work with Google Cloud and its partner ecosystem to turn early implementations into repeatable approaches that field teams can deliver independently.

You will shape joint technical strategy, define engagement models, and build systems that scale beyond individual deals. Working across pre- and post-sales, you will guide enterprise customers from discovery through production while enabling Google Cloud and its partners to lead subsequent deployments.
This role combines hands-on engineering, technical judgment, and ecosystem leadership. You will bring deep familiarity with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI), particularly Model Garden and its Python SDK tooling, and help customers choose supported OpenAI integration paths based on workload requirements, model capabilities, security controls, and operational needs.
