> 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. # Senior FDE and deployment jobs on-site at bootstrapped companies Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?companyStage=bootstrapped&level=senior&work=onsite 22 senior forward deployed engineer and deployment jobs on-site at bootstrapped companies, from 8 employers. **22** postings · **8** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026 [PVM](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pvm) ### [Sr. Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6fd723b169f16726) Rosemead, CA On-site 2w ago Pay not posted [Column](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/column) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8708e316d3429f3b) San Francisco, CA On-site 4w ago $130,000–$250,000 [Sitreps](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sitreps) ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, Public Sector](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6c5d5100c300639f) Washington, DC · San Francisco, CA On-site 2mo ago $167,000–$203,000 [Wyetech](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/wyetech) ### [Software Engineer 3](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/cf5d85e8aef36a37) Laurel, MD On-site 2mo ago Pay not posted [Dark Wolf Solutions](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/dark-wolf-solutions) ### [AI Software Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/b68e811302382d5d) Chantilly, VA · Herndon, VA On-site 2mo ago $120,000–$160,000 [Transluce](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/transluce) ### [AI Behavior Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/064476c718d3c08f) San Francisco, CA On-site 6mo ago $310,000–$500,000 [CGS Federal (Contact Government Services)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/cgs-federal-contact-government-services) ### [FSR Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/feb69b96d96e1ace) Oahu, HI On-site 8mo ago Pay not posted [Wyetech](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/wyetech) ### [Software Engineer 3](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7b36a38fa51b4bc6) Laurel, MD On-site 2mo ago Pay not posted [CGS Federal (Contact Government Services)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/cgs-federal-contact-government-services) ### [FSR Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/764cb9655ec55cc4) Miami, FL On-site 8mo ago Pay not posted [Wyetech](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/wyetech) ### [Software Engineer 3](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/aa6a1e96b543d7bf) Ft.
