Google Cloud Data and AI Engineer (Raleigh, NC)

About Reingold

Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm based in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission : to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.

We’re proud to say we’ve built a team of curious, passionate pros — from marketers and tech wizards to designers and strategists — who love what they do and bring their A-game every day. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We believe great ideas come from collaboration, humor, and a little bit of fun along the way.

When you work at Reingold, you get more than a job, you get a community. We offer competitive salaries, a comprehensive benefits package, a dynamic hybrid work environment, a vibrant workplace and growth opportunities in a variety of specialty areas. That means when we find great people (and they find us), they stick around for the long term.

That's where you come in. We’re looking for someone with real-world experience in cloud engineering and the confidence to work independently on core infrastructure tasks. You don’t need to be a domain expert, but you should be hungry to learn, comfortable navigating unfamiliar systems, and confident in your ability to figure things out. At Reingold, Google Cloud engineering isn’t just a support function; it’s a key part of how we deliver innovative, AI-powered solutions for our clients. You’ll use a code-first approach to build and manage Google Cloud infrastructure for advanced conversational AI applications, working with cross-functional teams to build systems that are secure, scalable, and repeatable. You’ll also implement robust CI / CD pipelines for deploying applications, and leverage Google Cloud's suite to help teams own their services in production, spot issues early, and fix them fast.

This is a hybrid role, requiring at least two days per week on site at Reingold’s headquarters in Alexandria, VA, or our office Raleigh, NC.

Here’s the work you’ll do :

Essential Functions :

• Design, build, and maintain conversational AI solutions using Google Cloud services like Vertex AI Search and Dialogflow CX.
• Collaborate with development teams to integrate and manage a suite of Google Cloud APIs, including Discovery Engine, Cloud Storage, and BigQuery, ensuring secure and efficient data flow.
• Develop and manage API proxies and security policies to facilitate robust integrations between backend services and client-facing applications.
• Monitor the health and performance of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, including App Engine and Compute Engine instances, using Cloud Monitoring and Logging to ensure high availability and reliability.
• Implement and manage Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and service accounts within GCP to maintain a secure and compliant cloud environment.
• Automate cloud infrastructure tasks and workflows using Python scripting to improve operational efficiency and consistency.
• Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities using common scanning and reporting tools, in coordination with security guidelines.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation and process flows that align with internal standards and operational requirements. Perform ad-hoc tasks based on evolving team priorities and your individual skills or areas of interest.
