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. # Cyber - AI Engineer - Manager - Consulting Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5352527da1726f71 EY posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs, remote, hiring in New York, at $144,900–$302,100 base, above the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

You will use retrieval, tool calling, and structured outputs, and build evaluation datasets and test harnesses to measure accuracy, false positives, task completion, latency, and cost. As a Manager, you will own technical delivery, workstreams, timelines, and budgets while mentoring Senior Consultants and Consultants. You will stay hands-on through architecture, pair programming, code reviews, and integration troubleshooting. You will partner with frontier model providers and researchers to evaluate cyber capabilities and translate deployment findings into engineering requirements.
