> 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 Houston involving pre-sales Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?region=houston-metro&stage=presales 19 forward deployed engineer and deployment jobs in Houston involving pre-sales, from 6 employers. **19** postings · **6** companies Postings read on November 6, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026 [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/202e5a48c009cc01) Houston, TX · New York, NY · +7 more Hybrid 13d ago $130,600–$147,000 [alliant](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/alliant) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/d481950a10f5d32a) Houston, TX 4w ago Pay not posted [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [AI Forward Deployed Engineering Manager | Sales ReInvention](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/0894ccabb46b62eb) Houston, TX · Chicago, IL · +41 more On-site 6w ago $80,400–$316,300 [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/119cfd8fc34ca0bd) Houston, TX · Charlotte, NC · +6 more Hybrid 13d ago $117,000–$132,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [AI Forward Deployed Engineering Senior Manager | Sales ReInvention](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/16bca3048d7b55d6) Houston, TX · Chicago, IL · +41 more 6w ago $112,900–$366,300 [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/461faf331f494ee8) Houston, TX · San Francisco, CA · +6 more Hybrid 13d ago $136,000–$155,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [AI Engineer - Forward Deployed Engineer · Snowflake · Reinvention Centers Associate Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a2699b7543b21aad) Houston, TX · Dallas, TX · +3 more Hybrid 5mo ago $62,800–$220,400 [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) ### [Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/61c1777a32f46521) Houston, TX · New York, NY · +8 more Hybrid 13d ago $150,000–$180,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [AI Engineer - Forward Deployed Engineer Associate Manager · Databricks · Reinvention Centers](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5f588a8622808f3b) Houston, TX · Dallas, TX · +3 more Hybrid 5mo ago $62,800–$261,500 [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) ### [Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/183bfa468750c967) Houston, TX · San Francisco, CA · +8 more Hybrid 13d ago $150,000–$180,000 [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) ### [Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/447ae8b697e6250a) Houston, TX · Charlotte, NC · +5 more Hybrid 13d ago $150,000–$180,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [Sr. AI Engineer - Forward Deployed Engineer Manager· Databricks · Reinvention Centers](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/625166c8f3c09b18) Houston, TX · Dallas, TX · +3 more Hybrid 5mo ago $80,400–$293,800 [BCG](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/bcg) ### [BCG Platinion | Lead AI Tech Architect - AI Platforms](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/0d4252868cd1a506) Houston, TX · Atlanta, GA · +16 more 5mo ago $190,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [Enterprise AI Transformation Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/2d3876bc2df23d99) Houston, TX · Chicago, IL · +40 more 10d ago $80,400–$266,300 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [Google Agentic AI Delivery Specialist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/05234902c7615380) Houston, TX · Albany, NY · +39 more 3mo ago $54,400–$196,000 [Accenture](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/accenture) ### [Google Agentic AI Delivery Senior Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/849934b3c434470f) Houston, TX · Albany, NY · +39 more 4mo ago $80,400–$266,300 [Cognite](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/cognite) Proves it works before the sale ### [Senior Field Engineer (Pre-Sales/Forward Deployed)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/f1c380a631395d4e) Houston, TX · US remote Remote 3w ago Pay not posted [Sia](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/sia) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [Consultant / Senior Consultant - Forward-Deployed Business Analyst (Financial Services)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/902d89236ae62ee4) Houston, TX · Charlotte, NC · +5 more Hybrid 7d ago $80,000–$116,000 [Fundamental Research Labs](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/fundamental-research-labs) Plans what the customer deploys first ### [AI Deployment Strategist - Houston ](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/1fb082404755c964) Houston, TX On-site 7w ago Pay not posted 16 of 19 build what the customer runs.
