> 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 San Diego at later-stage private companies Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?companyStage=late®ion=san-diego 10 forward deployed engineer and deployment jobs in San Diego at later-stage private companies, from 5 employers. **10** postings · **5** companies · read Nov 9, 2026 Published Nov 6, 2026 · Updated Nov 8, 2026 [Databricks](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/databricks) ### [Sr. Forward Deployed Engineer - Public Sector](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/440870dea6def209) San Diego, CA · Berkeley, CA · +1 more Remote New · 3d ago $182,000–$250,208 [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineer-Palantir Foundry-Experienced Associate](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/4279b29bd63b4214) San Diego, CA · Chicago, IL · +57 more Hybrid 2w ago $63,000–$140,000 [Saronic Technologies](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/saronic-technologies) ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7dca5db4386b4f44) San Diego, CA On-site 2w ago Pay not posted [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineer-Palantir Foundry-Senior Associate](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8f2f106eae6e8759) San Diego, CA · Chicago, IL · +57 more Hybrid 2w ago $77,000–$202,000 [Databricks](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/databricks) ### [Sr. Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) - Public Sector ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/99fcc726b3f450eb) San Diego, CA · Chicago, IL · +1 more Hybrid 2mo ago $182,000–$250,208 [Shield AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/shield-ai) ### [Applications Engineer, Autonomy (open level)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/428fb983eb69a54d) San Diego, CA Hybrid Since 2024 $152,000–$318,000 [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Senior Engineer, Google Cloud](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/185ac0e4c847ab6b) San Diego, CA · Chicago, IL · +62 more New · 6d ago $77,000–$202,000 [Shield AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/shield-ai) Integrates and configures it ### [Forward Deployed Engineer, Operations & Sustainment - open level (R5497)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/00652d251b47d57a) San Diego, CA Hybrid 3mo ago Pay not posted [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) Integrates and configures it ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineer-Palantir Foundry-Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5c609381e348c6d6) San Diego, CA · Chicago, IL · +57 more Hybrid 2w ago $99,000–$232,000 [Baker Tilly](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/baker-tilly) Builds for teams inside the company ### [Principal AI Engineer, Sr AI Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a8bd18ac838c9b76) San Diego, CA · San Jose, CA · +10 more 11d ago $205,000–$250,000 7 of these 10 jobs build what the customer runs. - [See roles that fit me](https://nextmove.md/sign-up?from=%2Ffde%2Fjobs%3FcompanyStage%3Dlate%26region%3Dsan-diego&placement=assist) [Get new postings like these by email](https://nextmove.md/sign-up?from=%2Ffde%2Fjobs%3FcompanyStage%3Dlate%26region%3Dsan-diego&placement=alert) Alerts for “FDE and deployment jobs in San Diego at later-stage private companies” go out once you have an account.
