One day at #Google Munich for the new services from Google.

Lot's of new stuff. But one thing that I see throughout the industry is that so many #aiagents examples don't require AI but are pure automation.

Also interesting to see that AI services can be called directly in #bigquery... But thinking about the #aiact and respective #governance, this means that a lot of applicants should appear in the company's ai register. 😕

Not a hot topic, but subject to more scanning of the query log. And.. Automation. Of course with an agent 😉

I'm hiring an Analytics Engineer (GCP) to join my team at RHR International.
What you'd actually be doing: building and owning our analytics foundation in a Google Cloud GCP-first environment — BigQuery, Data/Looker Studio, Python, SQL, GitHub, Docker. Real production work, version-controlled and documented, not throwaway queries.
RHR is a leadership consulting firm that's been around for 80+ years. We're cloud-first, SaaS-only, no on-prem. Small IT team, which means your work matters immediately.
What I'm looking for beyond the technical skills: curiosity, self-direction, and the ability to explain what you built and why to people who don't write code. Bonus points if you've fixed something nobody asked you to fix.
Hybrid in Chicago preferred, remote considered.
Apply here: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4399748962/
If you know someone who fits, I'd appreciate the tag or share.
