> 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. # Engineering manager FDE jobs Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs-for/engineering-manager Decide whether an FDE manager posting is a people-manager role or a technical lead with a senior title. **122** postings · **93** companies · **96** with pay · median **$240,000** · middle half $208,000–$293,000 · read Nov 6, 2026 [Aerovy](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/aerovy) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed Engineer (Founding)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5ed9b7623426bad3) Seattle, WA Hybrid 4w ago $150,000–$200,000 [CrossCountry Consulting](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/crosscountry-consulting) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed Engineer & Agentic Workflow Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/97bb62bb48a619ce) US · city not listed Hybrid 5w ago $150,000–$285,000 [Pear-VC](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pear-vc) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a6fdce06a517b2c3) New York, NY On-site 2mo ago Pay not posted [UP Labs](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/up-labs) Builds what the customer runs ### [Lead Forward Deployed Engineer, Hospitality](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a2d535eb54947851) US Remote 2mo ago Pay not posted [Giga](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/giga) Builds what the customer runs ### [Senior / Staff Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6294269c419cf48f) San Francisco, CA On-site Since 2025 $180,000–$400,000 [Deloitte US](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/deloitte-us) Builds what the customer runs ### [Cyber Identity - FDE Engineering Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/39eeda58b60e5f71) Multiple US offices 2mo ago $155,600–$306,800 [CoVar](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/covar) Builds what the customer runs ### [Machine Learning Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/97fb651671bae68c) Mclean, VA Hybrid 8mo ago Pay not posted [OpenAI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/openai) ### [Forward Deployed Engineering Manager, Financial Services](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/1da2d6eeed3a8943) New York, NY Hybrid New · 3d ago $302,000–$385,000 [Google](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/google) ### [Forward Deployed Engineering Manager II, Data Cloud, Google Cloud](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/800f27a82298228a) New York, NY · Sunnyvale, CA · +1 more New · 3d ago $262,000–$364,000 [Genesys](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/genesys) ### [Director, North America AI Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/b0deed3f2347a903) TX, CO, NC New · 5d ago $163,100–$286,900 [Newcode](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/newcode) ### [Head of Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ade0d9c816a13d9b) Chicago, IL Hybrid New · 6d ago Pay not posted [Exa (formerly Metaphor)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/exa-formerly-metaphor) ### [FDE Lead, NYC](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/646d9e773b63bea2) New York, NY On-site 9d ago $250,000–$315,000 [Tennr](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/tennr) ### [Forward Deployed Engineering Team Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/303e2e4d9994c1d2) New York, NY Hybrid 12d ago $170,000–$190,000 [Nimble Gravity](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/nimble-gravity) ### [Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/960d9250d509557a) US Remote 2w ago Pay not posted [Hadrian](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/hadrian) ### [Director of Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7ea0de498fbe1432) SF Bay Area On-site 2w ago $300,000–$415,000 107 of these 122 jobs lead deployment teams.
