Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, GenAI, YouTube

Google · San Bruno, CA, USA

It's an exciting time to join GTMO's AI Accelerator team, devising the AI transformation for YouTube Business GTM operations. The AI Accelerator is driving AI transformation across the organization. Our mission is to operate as a high-velocity, horizontal transformation engine, partnering directly with YouTube Business GTM business domains to fundamentally redesign legacy workflows from scratch and leverage applied AI to drive direct business impact for YouTube. We operate at the intersection of consulting, product strategy, applied AI and systems engineering. We identify the most painful operational bottlenecks across the organization and rapidly deploy intelligent, enterprise-grade AI powered solutions to solve them.

As an AI Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) within the YouTube Business organization, you are an entrepreneurial, full-stack builder tasked with influencing the future of YouTube’s Go-To-Market (GTM) operations. Operating as a builder-consultant, you will bridge the critical gap between frontier AI capabilities and production-grade reality. You will actively code, debug, and ship AI powered and agentic solutions that solve complex business problems.

You will deliver scalable solutions that seamlessly connect intuitive frontend user experiences with complex backends and data pipelines. By integrating next-generation AI (LLMs, RAG, and agentic workflows) into GTM operations, you will systematically address the core blockers to enterprise AI maturity, such as integration complexities, data readiness issues, and state-management challenges. If being at the intersection of engineering, GenAI, and product strategy excites you, and you are ready to deliver solutions that have an immediate, outsized impact on YouTube’s business workflows, this is the role for you.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
