> 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. # Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/12727fbacc9865ac Eliza posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs, remote, hiring in Oregon with no pay posted.

From generative AI and custom LLM integrations to predictive analytics and intelligent automation, we work across industries to bring real-world AI applications to life. Our projects combine deep technical expertise with hands-on client collaboration to solve high-impact problems. ### Role Overview We are seeking a **Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)** to work closely with our clients, translating complex business needs into scalable, production-ready AI solutions. As an FDE, you will serve as the technical face of our company on the ground—embedding with client teams, shaping solution architectures, and ensuring successful delivery. This role is perfect for engineers who love solving real-world problems, working directly with customers, and navigating the intersection of consulting and engineering. ### Key Responsibilities ### 1. Client-Facing Solution Delivery - Partner directly with client stakeholders to understand requirements, constraints, and business objectives. - Lead the technical design and hands-on implementation of custom AI systems—including model integration, data pipelines, APIs, and deployment infrastructure. - Rapidly prototype and iterate with clients in live environments. ### 2. Full-Stack AI Engineering - Build and deploy ML/AI solutions using technologies like Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, LangChain, and cloud-native tools. - Integrate LLMs and other generative models into client products and workflows. - Support model fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and evaluation pipelines where applicable. ### 3. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work with internal teams (product, design, research) to shape reusable components and frameworks based on deployment experiences. - Contribute client feedback and frontline insights to improve service delivery and product strategy. ### 4. Technical Advisory & Enablement - Advise client technical teams on best practices for AI/ML development and deployment. - Deliver hands-on workshops, documentation, and training to enable long-term client success. - Guide clients through infrastructure and architecture decisions (e.g., cloud, security, scalability). ### Qualifications ### Required - 2+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in full-stack or backend-focused roles. - Hands-on experience delivering real-world ML/AI projects, either independently or in collaboration with data science teams. - Strong programming skills (Python required; familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or similar a plus). - Comfort with modern cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and CI/CD workflows. - Excellent communication and client interaction skills. ### Preferred - Experience with LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere), vector search, or prompt engineering. - Prior consulting, professional services, or customer-facing technical roles. - Familiarity with MLOps practices and tools (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases, SageMaker). - Knowledge of common enterprise security, data privacy, and compliance constraints. ### What We Offer - Competitive compensation (salary + deployment bonuses or client uplift incentives). - Equity options in a growing AI services company. - Flexibility to work across industries and problem domains. - A collaborative, mission-driven team passionate about the real-world impact of AI.
