> 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 West Monroe Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/west-monroe 2 open forward deployed engineer (FDE) jobs at West Monroe across 9 US metros. **2 postings** 9 metros [Careers at West Monroe ↗](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/embed) read Nov 8, 2026 Published Oct 21, 2026 ## 2 open FDE roles at West Monroe ### [Senior Applied AI Engineer/Architect](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8a4b60dcc900fac7) Boston, MA · Chicago, IL · +7 more 4mo ago $225,000–$304,200 - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8a4b60dcc900fac7) ### [Principal AI Software Engineer, TechEx (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/1a4fa989247e7868) Boston, MA · Chicago, IL · +7 more 11mo ago $152,200–$205,900 - [View job →](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/1a4fa989247e7868) Both postings are hands-on engineering in the customer’s own systems.
