agent frameworks and inference engines that allow enterprises to
run modern applications anywhere consistently and at scale. GDC
empowers customers – from government agencies to global retailers –
to run mission-critical, AI-led services in their own data centers
or at the edge. You will lead the transition of GDC from a managed
infrastructure provider to a robust on-prem AI platform that
supports the entire lifecycle of autonomous agents and
high-performance inferencing in air-gapped and connected
environments. 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.

most critical business problems. The US base salary range for this
full-time position is $282,000-$392,000 bonus equity benefits. Our

additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and
relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about

Responsibilities Define the strategy for the GDC AI platform,
focusing on the deployment of autonomous AI agents and optimized
inference stacks across diverse hardware profiles. Oversee the GDC
AI infrastructure portfolio, ensuring it provides the specialized
accelerator performance required for large-scale AI workloads.
Drive the development of tools and services that enable customers
to build, deploy, and manage AI agents capable of automating
complex tasks in edge and sovereign settings. Collaborate with
engineering to minimize latency and maximize throughput for edge
inferencing, supporting use cases like real-time computer vision
and local LLM execution. Partner with hardware OEMs to co-design
systems that are purpose-built for AI-first applications.
