The Associate Cloud Consultant (ACC) role will work with our customers and other BlueVector AI team members to deliver AI-enabled Google Cloud solutions. The ACC represents our entry-level position where the individual will be exposed to several areas of the business. The goal of the ACC will be to progress into a Cloud Consultant role and then from there, they can determine their career path into technical, solution, data, UI, PM, or QC.

We are seeking highly motivated and experienced graduates or individuals who are new to the technology industry to join our dynamic Consulting team specializing in Google Cloud solutions for the public sector. The ideal candidate will have an understanding of business processes, basic analytics or software development concepts, relational database or data warehouse concepts, and/or Cloud technologies.

An understanding of agile methodologies as well as back-end infrastructure is helpful but not required. This role will be responsible for participating in requirements gathering, documenting user stories, and performing solution testing for our public sector clients. The candidate will be expected to have great communication skills and be able to quickly learn how to extract detailed user stories and requirements from business stakeholders. The candidate will learn to become the voice of the customer to the internal solution delivery team to ensure that the requirements match the intent of the business.

As part of the screening process, we will require that the candidates participate in a low code development challenge. You will be asked to build and demonstrate a low-code solution using Google's AppSheet product. This challenge will demonstrate your ability to take a concept that you are passionate about and build an application to automate one or more processes. We look at how you conceptualize the product, document the flow, and then how you implement the solution. When you have the solution you will schedule time with our team where we will evaluate your work and offer a few enhancements. You then will take that feedback, incorporate changes into the application, and then meet with the technical team for a final interview process

Most of our projects will use either AppSheet or our SnapApp product, which will require a certain amount of design, creativity, and understanding of data relationships. We do not expect you to spend more than a few hours on your app, but we believe that this showcases your ability to transform a concept into a usable prototype.
