Google Cloud is hiring hundreds of "forward-deployed engineers" (FDE) to embed with enterprise customers, providing hands-on support for deploying AI tools and building agents. CEO Thomas Kurian cited rapidly rising demand. This mirrors OpenAI and Anthropic's staffing strategies. Parallely, Google is deploying "context-creating AI agents" to automate tasks handled by these engineers. Roles span eight countries including the US, India, and Brazil, with some FDEs placed within major systems integrators like Accenture and Deloitte.
