> 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. # Deployment Strategist Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/66d258c0d56058df Moment posts a FDE role to plan what the customer deploys first in New York, NY, at $200,000–$300,000 base, above the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,849 postings with pay.

Now, all of it is up for grabs. The winner of the AI era of investment management will be a $100B+ company. We intend to be that company. To get there, we're assembling the most talent-dense startup in New York. We hire people who are 1) exceptional, 2) allergic to anything that's not exceptional, and 3) no brilliant jerks. We run lean by design. We work with a select group of the largest financial institutions in the world, go incredibly deep with each, and sit in the flow of trillions of dollars. We hire fewer people, ask each to own the outcome, and pay on impact - not tenure or experience. Moment is not for everyone. The standards are unreasonably high. The pace is intense. And there is no playbook. In return: the best work of your career, building a generational company. ### About Moment Moment is the AI operating system for investment management, built for the world's largest wealth firms and fintechs. Moment works with firms managing more than $10 trillion in client assets and is backed by Index, a16z, and Lightspeed. Moment was founded by former quants from Citadel and Jane Street and is based in NYC. ### The Role We're hiring **Deployment Strategists** to function as the **GM for a Moment engagement,** owning the full lifecycle from first demo through implementation through massive expansion. You're the primary point of accountability for everything the customer needs to succeed and the visionary helping them transform their business. The role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and GTM. Every customer should feel like they have a cofounder embedded with them. ### What You'll Do - **Pre-Sale: Solutioning & Vision.** Run incredible demos, go onsite to learn how customers actually work, and translate what you learn into a clear architecture, POC, for the goal of a signed contract. Catch bad trajectories early and always think about how to best frame Moment as the AI Operating System for our customer's entire business. - **Implementation & Launch.** Own getting the customer live, happy, and excited to expand. Drive the implementation plan and manage deliverables across product, engineering, and sales. Roll the platform out in person with key users. - **Growth & Expansion.** The majority of contract value at Moment lands *after* the initial rollout — your job is taking accounts from zero to one, and then one to one hundred. Run QBRs with the BD owner, monitor adoption, and surface expansion paths. - **X-Factor.** Bring sharp customer feedback to product and engineering, or action it yourself for faster iteration loops. Champion new product areas, train internal teams to be product experts, and build bespoke demos and MVPs when a customer needs something Moment doesn't yet have. ### You’re a good fit if you have - **Versatile experience across engineering, product, and GTM.** You’re comfortable reading code and reasoning about APIs one hour and then running an exec conversation the next. - **Customer-obsessed and entrepreneurial mentality.** You operate with founder-level ownership and don't wait for permission to solve problems. - **Ferociously curious mindset.** You’re always trying to learn and innovate more. ### Even better if you have - Prior experience in fintech, trading systems, or enterprise SaaS, especially owning a customer relationship end-to-end. - Former background in (Deployment Strategist, Forward Deployed Engineering, Product Management, Investment Banking and Management Consulting.) - Working fluency in Python or TypeScript and comfort with modern API design. - A track record presenting to senior stakeholders or leading onsite workshops. ### Compensation & Benefits - Base salary: $200K to $300K - Equity: aggressive initial grant + annual performance-based bonuses - Our beautiful West Village Office with a terrace / 5x a week in office - Free lunch and dinner. - $150 monthly gym stipend. - Health, dental, and vision coverage. 100% company reimbursement.
