About the job

As a Field Solutions Architect (FSA), you will play a pivotal role in the Google Cloud AI Go-To-Market organization. You will focus on frontier AI, including Generative AI (GenAI), in a highly technical customer-facing role. The FSA’s primary responsibility is to bridge the gap between our AI products and customers' real-world business problems. Unlike a traditional sales engineer, the FSA owns end-to-end technical delivery from understanding client needs to architecting, building, and deploying solutions directly on customer infrastructure.

This role requires a blend of technical expertise, problem-solving, and communication, with significant customer collaboration and travel. You will construct rapid-prototype Generative AI applications tailored to Google Cloud customers, ranging from early-stage startups to prominent, established companies. As a hybrid professional, you will blend engineering core competencies with an aptitude for customer engagement and problem-solving. This often involves leading with bespoke implementation as the primary value proposition, ensuring our core technology delivers demonstrable value within the customer's unique operational context. Finally, you will collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to eliminate obstacles and shape the future trajectory of our offerings, translating one-off customer solutions into reusable, scalable assets.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
