> 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 for individual contributors with prototype and scripting work and significant travel Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?coding=prototype&management=ic&travelMin=25 17 forward deployed engineer and deployment jobs for individual contributors with prototype and scripting work and significant travel, from 11 employers. **17** postings · **11** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 · Published October 28, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026 [The Nielsen Company](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/the-nielsen-company) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed Engineer - AI Solutions (Gracenote Division)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/31693745d4f72300) Remote, OR Remote New · 2d ago Pay not posted [Sitreps](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sitreps) Builds what the customer runs ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineer ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/15c784651bcda714) US Remote 13d ago $110,000–$180,000 [Varick-Agents](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/varick-agents) Builds what the customer runs ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/c0e43d77dbd84030) San Francisco, CA On-site 6w ago $175,000–$250,000 [Performance Drone Works](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/performance-drone-works) Builds what the customer runs ### [Senior Field Software Engineer, Advanced Missions Group](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/3405965391f916e4) US Remote 13d ago $140,000–$190,000 [Meta](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/meta) Builds what the customer runs ### [Solutions Architect, Business Agents](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/67acea4b3b24feb5) Seattle, WA · New York, NY · +1 more 2mo ago $130,000–$185,000 [IFS](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/ifs) Proves it works before the sale ### [Pre-Sales Forward Deployed Engineer - IFS Loops](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/299d0f4d19ba24b2) Palo Alto, CA 9d ago $190,000–$230,000 · OTE [Exiger](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/exiger) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [Senior Forward Deployed Strategist ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/694db57f957b4020) Mclean, VA · Richmond, VA Hybrid 2w ago Pay not posted [SnapLogic](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/snaplogic) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/91a7ef17e9add3f1) US Remote 2mo ago Pay not posted [Palantir](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/palantir) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [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) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ee55009ccd480304) New York, NY Hybrid 47mo ago $110,000–$170,000 [Palantir](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/palantir) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [Deployment Strategist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4db610fee594adf8) Chicago, IL Hybrid 55mo ago Pay not posted [Mendix](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/mendix) Proves it works before the sale ### [Intelligence Center X Engineer - Americas](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/0af30c9ac127f183) US · city not listed Hybrid 5w ago $125,300–$334,400 [SpaceX](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/spacex) Builds for teams inside the company ### [Operations Engineer, Applied AI (Application Software) ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/52b5e77d0edc1884) Vandenberg, CA On-site 3mo ago $100,000–$160,000 [SpaceX](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/spacex) Builds for teams inside the company ### [Operations Engineer, Applied AI (Application Software) ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/438d84d3bcc1166b) Cape Canaveral, FL On-site 3mo ago Pay not posted [SpaceX](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/spacex) Builds for teams inside the company ### [Operations Engineer, Applied AI (Application Software) ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/fcbbc701723d7380) Mcgregor, TX On-site 3mo ago Pay not posted [SpaceX](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/spacex) Builds for teams inside the company ### [Operations Engineer, Applied AI (Application Software) ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a52f0355fad92673) Starbase, TX On-site 3mo ago Pay not posted [SpaceX](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/spacex) Builds for teams inside the company ### [Operations Engineer, Applied AI (Application Software) ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/e3cd7d7b30ed0709) Bastrop, TX On-site 3mo ago Pay not posted [Get new postings like these by email](https://nextmove.md/sign-up?from=%2Ffde%2Fjobs%3Fcoding%3Dprototype%26management%3Dic%26travelMin%3D25&placement=alert) New fde and deployment jobs for individual contributors with prototype and scripting work and significant travel go out by email once you have an account and set an alert.
