## About this role

With a career at The Home Depot, you can be yourself and also be part of something bigger.

Position Purpose:

• Embed with THD Business Verticals: Partner directly with Finance, Marketing, Supply Chain, Online, Store Ops, HR, and Legal/Risk, etc., to turn ambiguous operational processes into production-ready, enterprise-governed AI agents.
• Educate & Enable: Teach verticals what surfaces they can deploy on (Gemini Enterprise, Google ADK, Skills, Agent Designer, MCP servers, Canvas, Agent Gateway/Registry) and how to manage and evolve their agents. Consult business on technical approaches to build agents.
• Drive Adoption & Reuse: Grow Gemini Enterprise adoption across the enterprise - team agents, individual Sparks, and a marketplace of reusable enterprise agents, Skills and tools. Treat every engagement as supply for the marketplace and actively promote reuse so teams compose existing assets before building new ones.
• Explicit Scope Guardrail: Foundation models are consumed as managed services - no pre-training/fine-tuning models, no GPU/CUDA kernel work, and no classical feature stores or model registries.

Responsibilities:

• Embed & Discover Workflows: Sit with non-technical business partners to elicit requirements, define negative scope ("what the agent must never do"), and lock in acceptance criteria before coding.
• Build & Deploy Production Agents: Ship end-to-end multi-step agents and conversational assistants in Python (FastAPI), Google ADK, and Gemini Enterprise, including Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) confirmation gates for write actions.
• Engineer Enterprise Integrations & MCP Servers: Build resilient MCP servers and REST integrations for enterprise systems (e.g. Jira, Confluence, SharePoint/M365, Slack, ServiceNow, Salesforce, etc.) with strict OAuth/IAM boundaries, idempotency, retries, and High Availability patterns; publish them as reusable assets in the enterprise marketplace.
• Establish Reusable Evaluation Harnesses: Build workflow-level golden datasets, prompt/agent evaluations, and automated regression suites so business owners have an objective pass/fail gate.
• Templatize & Build the Paved Road: Extract reusable templates, Skills, and packaging standards from every build so the second vertical build takes ≤60% of the effort of the first.
• Review Submissions & Govern Quality: Review partner-submitted agent code, company Skills, and prompt implementations for the Agent Sharing & Registry workflow against engineering, security, and Responsible AI standards;curate the marketplace so published agents, Skills and tools are discoverable, documented and trusted.
• Execute Ownership Handoff & Enablement: Author runbooks and enablement materials, verify receiving-owner readiness, and cleanly transfer day-to-day operations to the vertical.
• Feed Platform Architecture: Convert recurring vertical needs into scoped backlog items for the core APEX platform (Gateway/Registry, Model Armor guardrails, observability, and lifecycle management).
• Enable Builders & Grow Adoption: Support product to run technical workshops, office hours; review low-code agents built by business teams; maintain documentation and a pattern library; and use usage data and feedback to improve adoption and the platform.
