See the Open RolesWhat a forward deployed engineer does
A forward deployed engineer is a software engineer who works directly with a customer. Instead of building a product for everyone, the FDE builds the version that works inside one customer's business: the data connections, the integrations, the workflows and the AI features, running in production.
The job sits between engineering and the customer. On a given week an FDE might run discovery with executives, design the architecture, write Python, wire up retrieval and agents on AWS or Azure, and train the customer's team to run what was built.
