> 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.

### About us

Our mission at Credal is to harness frontier AI for everyone building a better future.

We accelerate the most complex, sophisticated operations of the most impactful institutions, while weaving security and governance into every part of our product. Our customers include the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, MongoDB, Comcast NBC Universal, Lattice, Wise (Transferwise), Checkr, and incident.io among others.

📍 Credal is **in-person** in our spacious NYC office with meals provided.

- Build POCs to unblock deals and accelerate time-to-value
- Own design partnerships with end users to shape the product roadmap
- Develop deep understanding of each customer's use case and business objectives, and be their greatest internal advocate
- Define and improve the playbooks, processes, and tooling that will let us scale what works

- Eager to join our mission of bringing frontier intelligence to the industries and institutions that matter most- healthcare, government, financial infrastructure
- Customer-focused and deeply empathetic- you listen, you care, and you'll be their voice inside Credal

- Technically capable- able to read logs, reproduce issues, and build basic solutions
- Background in enterprise security, compliance, or access control
- Prior solutions engineering, FDE, or customer success experience at an infra or developer tools company

### Benefits and work environment

- Opportunity to take ownership and accountability of major mission, business and technical outcomes from day one. Exercise your full capacity to create positive change in the world, rather than waiting for permission to advance to slightly less boring tickets or tasks.
- High quality health coverage, including great mental health benefits, for you and your immediate family. This includes comprehensive and HSA options.
- Industry-leading vision, dental, life, disability coverage.
- Regular team activities & offsite events (last year we went to Turks and Caicos for a hackathon week!)
