> 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 matching “kubernetes” Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?q=kubernetes&page=8 504 forward deployed engineer jobs and related deployment roles from 275 employers. Compare posted pay, locations and work arrangements, then read the employer’s posting. **504** postings · **275** companies · 383 state pay: median **$198,000**, half $173,000–$226,000 Postings read on November 6, 2026 [Intrinsic](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/intrinsic) ### [Customer Success Engineer, Robotics Software and Automation](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5e372b3dfdcb4c14) Mountain View, CA 4mo ago $132,000–$180,400 [Rackner](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/rackner) ### [Software/AI developer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5ef57c9c24ffb289) US Remote 5mo ago Pay not posted [Fireworks AI](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/fireworks-ai) ### [AI Field Engineer -
