> 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 and deployment jobs asking for consulting experience at early-stage companies with configuration work Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?background=consulting&coding=configuration&companyStage=early 15 forward deployed engineer and deployment jobs asking for consulting experience at early-stage companies with configuration work, from 14 employers. **15** postings · **14** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 · Published October 25, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026 [Strix](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/strix) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward-Deployed Security Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/97911d9a42244ce4) New York, NY On-site 2mo ago Pay not posted [DatologyAI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/datologyai) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed AI Engineer (Post-Sales)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4564fd55dfb82f47) San Mateo, CA Hybrid 6mo ago $230,000–$300,000 [Artisan](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/artisan) ### [Forward Deployed GTM Architect](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7c7c695bb3843447) San Francisco, CA · New York, NY On-site 3mo ago $130,000–$180,000 [Starbridge](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/starbridge) Integrates and configures it ### [Forward Deployed GTME](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5c0049867a00820e) New York, NY On-site 4mo ago $125,000–$175,000 [Context](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/context) ### [Forward Deployed Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5ff0c83dd2242853) San Francisco, CA · New York, NY On-site 6mo ago $180,000–$350,000 [Concourse](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/concourse) Keeps customers running after launch ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f5a1d39021975960) New York, NY On-site 11mo ago Pay not posted [August](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/august) Integrates and configures it ### [Solutions Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4add4f39f8f0faf7) New York, NY On-site 3w ago $100,000–$160,000 [Farsight](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/farsight) Integrates and configures it ### [Professional Services Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/36cd5213735b1aea) New York, NY Hybrid 4w ago $170,000–$200,000 [Clarasight](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/clarasight) Integrates and configures it ### [Solutions Architect](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ccf6e86e040c2929) US Remote 6mo ago Pay not posted [Auctor](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/auctor) ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a261fb2e096567b6) New York, NY On-site 6w ago $130,000–$230,000 [Fulcrum](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/fulcrum) ### [AI Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/3b39f64b68bac2bf) San Francisco, CA On-site 2mo ago Pay not posted [August](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/august) ### [AI Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6833631848861e2f) New York, NY On-site 5mo ago $100,000–$160,000 [Hanover Park](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/hanover-park) ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5e53137197166408) New York, NY On-site 6mo ago Pay not posted [Nevis](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/nevis) ### [Deployment Strategist, Enterprise](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e9d84c5ad8b52253) New York, NY On-site 8mo ago Pay not posted [Sapien](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sapien) ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a6c47957f1d535d0) New York, NY On-site 13mo ago $125,000–$200,000 8 of 15 plan what the customer deploys first.
