> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # FDE jobs at Code Metal Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/code-metal 5 open forward deployed engineer (FDE) jobs at Code Metal across 5 US metros. **5 postings** 5 metros [Careers at Code Metal ↗](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/code-metal) read Nov 6, 2026 ## 5 open FDE roles at Code Metal Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/80f77599c6e31ea9) Boston, MA Hybrid 2mo ago $160,000–$200,000 - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/80f77599c6e31ea9) ### [Deployment Strategist - SOUTHCOM](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ddc8aa8530bb78ee) Miami, FL Remote 1mo ago Pay not posted - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ddc8aa8530bb78ee) ### [Deployment Strategist - SOCOM/CENTCOM](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a135f732ebac9e6e) Tampa, FL Remote 2mo ago Pay not posted - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a135f732ebac9e6e) ### [Deployment Strategist - USMC](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/dc61fe3611389a08) Washington, DC Remote 2mo ago Pay not posted - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/dc61fe3611389a08) ### [Deployment Strategist - PACOM](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f9747b475147e3e3) Honolulu, HI Hybrid 2mo ago Pay not posted - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f9747b475147e3e3) 4 of 5 postings plan what the customer deploys first.
