> 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 plan what the customer deploys first for individual contributors with prototype and scripting work Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?coding=prototype&management=ic&role=strategist 17 forward deployed engineer jobs that plan what the customer deploys first for individual contributors with prototype and scripting work, from 14 employers. **17** postings · **14** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 · Published November 3, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026 [Nearform](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/nearform) ### [Forward Deployed Strategist ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ab013f5a2ebefc5e) US · city not listed New · Yesterday Pay not posted [BlackRock](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/blackrock) ### [Forward Deployed Business Analyst, Associate - BTO](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/215a18b796bead8d) New York, NY · Atlanta, GA Hybrid 10d ago $95,000–$137,500 [Thomson Reuters](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/thomson-reuters) ### [Senior Legal Engineer, Legal Products Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ec42914b1144c712) Frisco, TX · New York, NY Hybrid 10d ago $94,900–$203,000 [Exiger](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/exiger) ### [Senior Forward Deployed Strategist ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/694db57f957b4020) Mclean, VA · Richmond, VA Hybrid 2w ago Pay not posted [Code and Theory](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/code-and-theory) ### [Forward Deployed Product Manager ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/41e0b6a27897f7a9) New York, NY 5w ago $70,000–$140,000 [Exa (formerly Metaphor)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/exa-formerly-metaphor) ### [Product Manager, Forward Deployed](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5c82ba2222265ca0) San Francisco, CA On-site 5w ago $155,000–$275,000 [SnapLogic](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/snaplogic) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/91a7ef17e9add3f1) US Remote 2mo ago Pay not posted [Labelbox](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/labelbox) ### [Forward Deployed Research Scientist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8e3a7e6aecde2b63) San Francisco, CA 6mo ago $200,000–$300,000 [FERMÀT](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/ferm-t) ### [Forward Deployed Product Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/71295e354cc993d7) San Francisco, CA 8mo ago From $200,000 [TikTok](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/tiktok) ### [AI Deployment Strategist — Ads Vertical - Global Monetization Product and Technology](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5d29c1cb6b44af5e) San Francisco, CA New · 4d ago $159,000–$272,000 [ElevenLabs](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/elevenlabs) ### [Deployment Strategist - North America](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d7a3e5d817e3edaf) New York, NY · San Francisco, CA Remote 6mo ago Pay not posted [Palantir](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/palantir) ### [Deployment Strategist - Warp Speed](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/15a8c679383b2398) New York, NY Hybrid 21mo ago $110,000–$170,000 [Palantir](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/palantir) ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ee55009ccd480304) New York, NY Hybrid 47mo ago $110,000–$170,000 [Tallwave](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/tallwave) ### [AI Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/42404271b04fb94a) US Remote 13d ago Pay not posted [Motion](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/motion) ### [AI Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/fc8c83765297f30f) US Remote 12mo ago Pay not posted [Palantir](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/palantir) ### [Deployment Strategist, Internship - US Government](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/160e6f2c5888f330) Honolulu, HI On-site 10mo ago Pay not posted [Palantir](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/palantir) ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4db610fee594adf8) Chicago, IL Hybrid 55mo ago Pay not posted All 17 plan what the customer deploys first.
