Careers at TCS: It Means More
TCS is a purpose-led transformation company, built on belief. We do not just help businesses transform through technology. We support them in making a meaningful difference to the people and communities they serve. Our clients include some of the biggest brands in the UK and worldwide.
At TCS, it means more to make an impact that matters through challenging projects which demand ambitious innovation and thought leadership.
- Develop cutting-edge AI and machine learning solutions that drive business impact at scale.
- Work at the intersection of data science, engineering, and commercial strategy to shape intelligent decision-making.
- Lead innovation through Generative AI, advanced analytics, and modern machine learning technologies.
The Role
As a Google AI Forward Deployed Engineer, you will function as an embedded builder-consultant within customer accounts, translating AI strategy into production-ready solutions. You will work directly within customer environments to architect, build, deploy, and optimize advanced AI applications that deliver measurable business outcomes. Acting as the bridge between customers and engineering teams, you will provide hands-on deployment support while capturing real-world insights that help shape the future evolution of Google's AI capabilities and offerings.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the lead developer embedded within customer accounts, for complex AI applications, transitioning from rapid prototypes to production-grade agentic workflows (e.g., multi-agent systems, MCP servers)
- Architect and code the connective tissue between Google’s AI products and customer's live infrastructure, including APIs, legacy data silos, and security perimeters.
- Build high-performance evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to ensure agentic systems meet rigorous requirements for accuracy, safety, and latency.
- Identify repeatable field patterns and technical friction points in Google’s AI stack, converting them into reusable modules or product feature requests for engineering teams.
- Co-build with customer engineering teams to instil Google-grade development best practices, ensuring long-term project success and high end-user adoption.
- Drive engineering excellence by mentoring talent, co-building with customer teams, and influencing cross-functional strategies to uplevel organizational technical capabilities.
