> 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. # Production AI FDE jobs Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs-for/production-ai Decide whether a production AI FDE role owns the system after the demo: build, integrate, prove and operate. **584** postings · **321** companies · **425** with pay · median **$200,000** · middle half $165,000–$239,000 · read Nov 8, 2026 [ServiceNow](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/servicenow) ### [Forward Deployed Solution Engineer – Applied AI FDE](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/764d86c11acb70bd) Atlanta, GA Remote Yesterday Pay not posted [Thomson Reuters](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/thomson-reuters) ### [Senior Legal Engineer, CoCounsel FDE](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ef7a2e5d13b23d62) Frisco, TX · New York, NY · +7 more Hybrid Yesterday $102,200–$218,600 [Creative Chaos](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/creative-chaos) ### [Forward-Deployed Full-stack Engineer (React+Node)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d34411fb810141a4) Waltham, MA · Cincinnati, OH · +1 more Hybrid Yesterday Pay not posted [Wafer](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/wafer) ### [Member of Technical Staff, Forward Deployed](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/92a4f62e58e7827e) San Francisco, CA On-site 2d ago Pay not posted [OpenAI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/openai) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), Financial Services- NYC](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ed060b61e687230f) New York, NY Hybrid 2d ago $185,000–$300,000 [Pramaana Labs](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pramaana-labs) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f99fed3ab01cfc35) Palo Alto, CA On-site 3d ago Pay not posted [Reflection AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/reflection-ai) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer - Public Sector](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d6f7a25c949926c4) New York, NY On-site 4d ago Pay not posted [The Nielsen Company](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/the-nielsen-company) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer - AI Solutions (Gracenote Division)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/31693745d4f72300) Remote, OR Remote 4d ago Pay not posted [Joyful Health](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/joyful-health) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/22795913cd1c6605) New York, NY Hybrid 4d ago $150,000–$275,000 [Red Cell Partners](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/red-cell-partners) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/531129e17d951cad) Seattle, WA · Mclean, VA Remote 5d ago $180,000–$240,000 [Trase Systems](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/trase-systems) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/15bd77cd9f0f35f4) Seattle, WA · Mclean, VA Remote 5d ago $150,000–$240,000 [causaLens](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/causalens) ### [Lead Forward-Deployed AI Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4f39d356f2f074a8) US Remote 5d ago Pay not posted [Pear-VC](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pear-vc) ### [Founding Forward Deployed Engineer (USA)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d2fe7fcf1812470c) Palo Alto, CA · New York, NY Remote 5d ago Pay not posted [Concurrence](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/concurrence) ### [Staff Applied AI Engineer (Forward Deployed) [NYC or SF]](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6fc4932d5c7940bc) New York, NY On-site 5d ago $240,000–$300,000 [Armadin](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/armadin) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/94d19b74b47c0652) Palo Alto, CA On-site 6d ago Pay not posted All 584 of these jobs build what the customer runs.
