> 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 lead deployment teams in Chicago Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?region=chicagoland&role=leadership 9 forward deployed engineer jobs that lead deployment teams in Chicago, from 6 employers. **9** postings · **6** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 [Newcode](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/newcode) ### [Head of Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ade0d9c816a13d9b) Chicago, IL Hybrid New · 3d ago Pay not posted [Salesforce](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/salesforce) ### [Senior Director, Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8b65ace4a79082c1) Chicago, IL · San Francisco, CA · +1 more New · 2d ago $196,700–$329,210 [Thomson Reuters](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/thomson-reuters) ### [Senior Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering – Tax & Audit](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d9f81e00f9c3d172) Chicago, IL · Brooklyn, NY · +4 more Hybrid New · 4d ago $118,400–$253,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [Forward Deployed Engineering Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a60e7ba97aa7fff1) Chicago, IL · Arlington, VA · +39 more 6w ago $80,400–$316,300 [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Data Engineering - Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f2ee37c4d7ad1591) Chicago, IL · New York, NY · +1 more 2mo ago $99,000–$266,000 [Huron](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/huron) ### [AICC Senior Technical Lead, Forward Deployed Engineering (Senior Manager)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7e288c85b9241b78) Chicago, IL Remote 4mo ago $165,000–$190,000 [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Data Engineering - Senior Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/cb3442c1b9a39677) Chicago, IL · New York, NY · +1 more 2mo ago $124,000–$335,000 [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineering - Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/2a757afed07cede0) Chicago, IL · New York, NY · +1 more 2mo ago $99,000–$266,000 [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineering - Senior Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/1457c704065ca3a8) Chicago, IL · New York, NY · +1 more 2mo ago $124,000–$335,000 All 9 lead deployment teams.
