AI Customer Engineer, Nordics, Cloud AI Tech GTM

At Google Cloud, we are pivoting from standard cloud adoption to leading the "Agentic Era" of enterprise technology.

As an AI/ML Customer Engineer Specialist, you will engage with the most ambitious enterprises across the Nordic regions to redefine their business strategies through AI. You will act as a trusted AI advisor capable of commanding a room of executive decision-makers, and a highly skilled developer who can open a laptop and build state-of-the-art, machine-learning-powered systems. You will partner closely with strategic sales teams to lead proactive discovery, identify high-impact AI workloads, and design advanced architectures that drive measurable business outcomes.

In this role, you will step away from high-volume, superficial support and adopt a "fewer accounts, deeper technical execution" model, dedicating your technical expertise to a highly focused portfolio of strategic focus accounts. You will serve as the ultimate technical authority on integrating advanced generative AI and multi-agent orchestration systems into complex enterprise environments. You will own the customer's AI success journey end-to-end. By building continuous, long-term relationships with technical decision-makers and CXOs, you will earn a seat at the table as their primary AI strategist.

You will architect robust, data-connected solutions that move beyond simple chat interfaces. Crucially, once you have secured executive commitment and built high-impact prototypes, you will orchestrate seamless handovers within our Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs), who will bring your architectures into full-scale production.

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.
