> 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 that build what the customer runs for technical leads with configuration work Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?coding=configuration&management=lead&role=builds-for-customers 16 forward deployed engineer jobs that build what the customer runs for technical leads with configuration work, from 15 employers. **16** postings · **15** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 · Published October 24, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026 [Forgepoint](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/forgepoint) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ebb6432e308a038a) New York, NY On-site 3w ago $175,000–$215,000 [Ditto](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/ditto) ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer - Platform ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/c7c329b94a1f3f61) San Francisco, CA Hybrid 3w ago $188,000–$240,000 [Avathon (formerly SparkCognition)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/avathon-formerly-sparkcognition) ### [Technical Architect - Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/024ec55baa0bac4d) Pleasanton, CA · Austin, TX On-site 6w ago $170,000–$220,000 [Ent](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/ent) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer, East](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/29796390c4810631) US Remote 2mo ago Pay not posted [NODA AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/noda-ai) ### [Forward-Deployed Solution Engineer - International](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e5fdf8cde7a8eb3a) Austin, TX On-site 6mo ago Pay not posted [DatologyAI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/datologyai) ### [Forward Deployed AI Engineer (Post-Sales)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4564fd55dfb82f47) San Mateo, CA Hybrid 6mo ago $230,000–$300,000 [Pear-VC](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pear-vc) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer (AI Solutions) - Atrix](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/16e92c2468a37b1b) New York, NY Hybrid 11mo ago Pay not posted [Forgepoint](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/forgepoint) ### [Solutions Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d7fcbb2574928afa) New York, NY On-site New · 2d ago $175,000–$215,000 [Quilter](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/quilter) ### [Senior/Staff Platform Engineer, Enterprise Deployments](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/12acc499b2406b34) US Remote New · 3d ago Pay not posted [One Brief](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/one-brief) ### [Solutions Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6efeaeb846385ccd) US Remote 13d ago $180,000–$220,000 [Noble Machines](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/noble-machines) ### [Principal Solutions Architect ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/444496c89587b436) Sunnyvale, CA 2w ago $200,000–$350,000 [Cadence Design Systems](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/cadence-design-systems) ### [Principal AI Forward Deployment Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f89e6a8ff054b0e0) Portland, OR · Cary, NC On-site 4mo ago Pay not posted [Field AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/field-ai) ### [Robotics Autonomy Engineer (Federal)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/565e7d29aadd3966) Irvine, CA On-site 5mo ago Pay not posted [NVIDIA](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/nvidia) ### [Solutions Architect, Inference Deployments](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/04939b40f7e54618) Santa Clara, CA 6mo ago $152,000–$241,500 [Atolio](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/atolio) ### [Senior Deployment Engineer -USA](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/0ae605d9d682d89e) US Remote 14mo ago Pay not posted [Parloa](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/parloa) ### [Lead Agent Architect](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/1556bc4fdeaa7891) New York, NY 19mo ago $196,000–$223,000 All 16 build what the customer runs.
