> 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. # Senior Software Engineer (Forward Deployed) Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/194ad054792c1d47 Invisible Technologies posts a senior FDE role to build what the customer runs in New York, NY, at $180,000–$264,000 base, above the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

We provide the platform infrastructure that makes AI work in production at scale: unify fragmented data, map complex processes, orchestrate and evaluate agents, and stand up hyper-personalized workflow applications fast for companies like Grubhub, Alliance Global, and Thomson Reuters. Where models fall short, we build RL environments and data to fix them. The result: a virtuous cycle between enterprise deployment and model training. Recognized as Best Predictive Analytics Platform of the Year at the 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards, Invisible makes AI work. ### About The Role As a Senior Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) you'll work directly with clients and our internal delivery teams to build and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how work gets done. You’ll own projects end-to-end: scoping ambiguous problems, prototyping AI workflows, and deploying scalable systems on top of our products — all while interfacing with technical and non-technical stakeholders. This is a hybrid role: equal parts AI engineer, software builder, and technical consultant. It's perfect for someone who wants to be hands-on with models and close to the impact they generate. ### What You’ll Do - Collaborate with delivery leaders to scope technical solutions to operational problems - Identify workflow optimizations through deep engagement with customer problems and work to build into a stable and scalable solution - Design and implement AI-powered workflows using LLMs, embedding models, retrieval systems, and automation tools - Translate messy real-world constraints (e.g., inconsistent data, latency requirements) into elegant engineering solutions - Iterate quickly based on real-time feedback from operators and clients - Build reusable tooling and infrastructure that accelerates future deployments ### What We Need - 6+ years of software engineering experience, including significant time spent building data, ML, or backend systems - **Python & ML/LLM Frameworks:** Deep proficiency in Python with hands-on experience using Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI, Pinecone, and related ecosystems - **Deployment & Infrastructure:** Skilled in full-stack and API-based deployment patterns, including Docker, FastAPI, Kubernetes, and cloud environments (GCP, AWS) - **Platform Orchestration: **Experienced with workflow orchestration libraries, pub/sub systems (Kafka), and schema governance - **Data Management:** Expertise in data governance and operations, including Unity Catalog and policy management, cluster/job orchestration, data contracts and quality enforcement, Delta/ETL pipelines, and replay processes - Strong product and system design instincts — you understand business needs and how to translate them into technical architecture - Experience building usable systems from messy data and ambiguous requirements - Excellent communication and client-facing skills; you’ve led conversations with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike - Proven experience owning projects from scoping through deployment in ambiguous, high-stakes environments - Be willing to be on-call for our customers when situations arise - **Travel:** Willingness to travel for on-site client engagements as needed - **Onsite: **Available to work from the office a few days per week, depending on team needs —* some NYC-based teams require 3 days per week onsite; your specific requirement will depend on the team you're placed with* ### What’s In It For You Invisible is committed to fair and competitive pay, ensuring that compensation reflects both market conditions and the value each team member brings.
