Google Cloud is hiring hundreds of engineers, benchmarking the 'Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)' model used by OpenAI and Anthropic. This team will be embedded within Google Cloud to provide direct technical support to enterprise customers building AI products and agents.

CEO Thomas Kurian stated, "The demand for engineering support from customers and partners is rapidly increasing." Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Matt Lenner emphasized, "We will approach customers not just by sending sales personnel, but with more technical resources."

Hiring is taking place globally, including in the United States, India, Brazil, Australia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, and Canada, and includes senior levels (FDE II–IV). Additionally, Google FDEs will be placed within major system integrators (SIs) such as Accenture, Deloitte, and TCS to strengthen partnerships.
