> 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 in Austin with configuration work serving external customers Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?coding=configuration&recipient=external®ion=austin 14 forward deployed engineer and deployment jobs in Austin with configuration work serving external customers, from 9 employers. **14** postings · **9** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 [Avathon (formerly SparkCognition)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/avathon-formerly-sparkcognition) Builds what the customer runs ### [Technical Architect - Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/024ec55baa0bac4d) Austin, TX · Pleasanton, CA On-site 6w ago $170,000–$220,000 [NODA AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/noda-ai) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward-Deployed Solution Engineer - International](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e5fdf8cde7a8eb3a) Austin, TX On-site 6mo ago Pay not posted [Google](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/google) Integrates and configures it ### [AI Outcome Customer Engineer III, Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e9ad80319ba4941d) Austin, TX · Chicago, IL · +6 more New · 2d ago $183,000–$265,000 [Google](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/google) Integrates and configures it ### [AI Outcome Customer Engineer II, Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e0311a33e16abaf8) Austin, TX · New York, NY · +6 more 13d ago $152,000–$221,000 [GRIDSIGHT](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/gridsight) Integrates and configures it ### [Forward Deployed Data Analyst](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/24f51347037e2ac3) Austin, TX · San Francisco, CA Hybrid 4w ago Pay not posted [Avathon (formerly SparkCognition)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/avathon-formerly-sparkcognition) ### [Forward Deployed Design Lead — Product Lifecycle Management ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/87eb7c87577eea63) Austin, TX · Pleasanton, CA Hybrid 6w ago $170,000–$200,000 [Cloudflare](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/cloudflare) Integrates and configures it ### [Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/9fbcc71879687bb2) Austin, TX · Dallas, TX · +2 more Hybrid 9mo ago $184,000–$253,000 [Avathon (formerly SparkCognition)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/avathon-formerly-sparkcognition) ### [Forward Deployed Design Lead — Asset Performance Management ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a5700c0c4f1a33c5) Austin, TX · Pleasanton, CA Hybrid 6w ago $130,000–$155,000 [H Company](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/h-company) ### [Deployment Strategist - US](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/505c60db81fbe5f6) Austin, TX · San Francisco, CA · +1 more Hybrid 4w ago Pay not posted [PressW](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pressw) Integrates and configures it ### [Applied AI Engineer – MSP](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f0dc8d075d37a579) Austin, TX Hybrid 3mo ago $90,000–$145,000 [H Company](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/h-company) ### [Deployment Strategist - US](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/164df6750dfc857c) Austin, TX · New York, NY · +1 more Hybrid 4w ago Pay not posted [Seekr](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/seekr) ### [Deployment Strategist ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/105d5ad33f153b39) Austin, TX · Menlo Park, CA · +1 more Hybrid 2mo ago $180,000–$235,000 [Salesforce](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/salesforce) ### [Deployment Strategist - Public Sector, Nonprofit & Education](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/bf19150e88dcde14) Austin, TX · Mclean, VA · +8 more Remote 3mo ago $134,750–$316,750 [H Company](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/h-company) ### [Deployment Strategist - US](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f3a8d02dc926fb61) Austin, TX · San Francisco, CA · +1 more Hybrid 5mo ago Pay not posted 7 of 14 plan what the customer deploys first.
