> 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. # Technology Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5d4e55acd40e0326 long-lake posts a FDE role to build for teams inside the company in New York, NY and 1 more, at $200,000–$300,000 base, above the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,934 postings with pay.

We're backed by General Catalyst, Alpha Wave, Elad Gil, and others, with billions in permanent capital raised. We are not a private equity fund but a permanent capital vehicle with an extremely long-term view. ### The Role Most AI companies build demos. We build and run operating systems for real businesses. This is a rare chance to own the full arc: design the system, deploy it into production, watch operators rely on it every day, and iterate until it's irreplaceable. ### What You’ll Do Some engineers at Long Lake focus on our AI platform: agent orchestration, real-world evals, connectors, data infrastructure. Others spend more time embedded with portfolio companies, running discovery, shipping vertical tools, automating workflows and driving adoption. Problems you might work on: - Turning a workflow where someone spends hours copying data between systems, QA-ing outputs, and producing documents into a background agent that runs in minutes and flags exceptions for review - Writing the integration between a modern agent and a legacy industry ERP with no clean API, and making it reliable enough to run core business operations - Building the deployment infrastructure that makes rolling AI into a new business repeatable rather than bespoke: the orchestration, connectors, and reliability layer that every new workflow inherits - Going onsite with a team, expanding adoption beyond the early power users, measuring impact, and shipping the changes that make daily use feel obvious - Building the evals, feedback loops, and training pipelines that teach AI to reliably complete specific jobs, turning capable models into genuine AI coworkers ### What Success Looks Like - You've shipped something into daily production use, not a pilot or a proof of concept, and the team would notice if it went down tomorrow - A workflow that used to take a person hours now runs as a background agent, and the hours have been redirected to higher-leverage work - Something you built once has been reused across multiple portfolio companies, because you designed for the second deployment, not just the first - You can point to a specific business metric (throughput, cycle time, error rate) that moved because of work you led **Equal Opportunity **Long Lake is an equal opportunity employer.
