> 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 Full Stack Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6865bb4b25a41da1 Blank Metal posts a senior FDE role to build what the customer runs in Minneapolis, MN with no pay posted.

We blend strategic insight with hands-on execution — shipping high-impact systems that turn AI initiatives into measurable business results. We’re builders, not theorists. Our team of seasoned engineers, designers, and strategists work across industries to create AI applications that actually get used — and make a difference. You’ll join a seasoned professional services team known for high-touch, high-quality work that drives real impact. Our culture thrives on open dialogue, collaborative problem-solving, and a healthy dose of laughter. We value your voice, your ideas, and your entrepreneurial spirit—come help us evolve our services and shape our journey. ### Key Responsibilities - Design scalable service/micro-service patterns, database schemas, caching layers, and authentication flows - Ship production-grade code across front-end (React/TypeScript) and back-end (Node, Go, or JVM) with strong test coverage - Integrate model endpoints, manage real-time inference, and implement robust error-handling and fallback mechanisms - Drive code-review rigor, CI/CD pipeline health, and observability instrumentation - Pair-program, lead brown-bag sessions, and advise junior engineers on technical decisions - Collaborate with UX/Product, AI/ML Practice, and ML Ops teams to deliver client solutions - Contribute to engineering best practices and help raise the team’s technical bar ### About you - 5–8 years of full-stack development experience, with strength in both modern front-end and cloud-native back-end stacks - Experience designing and operating systems in AWS, GCP, or Azure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDK) - Solid understanding of security, performance tuning, and API versioning best practices - Comfortable in dynamic, client-facing environments—startup or consulting experience preferred - Strong communicator and collaborator with a passion for building high-impact solutions - Curious, adaptable, and energized by solving complex problems across industries ### Why You’ll Love It Here - Build AI that ships — every project ends in a live deployment, not a slide deck - Craft meets velocity — we obsess over quality while delivering at startup speed - Outcome-driven model — our projects align with client success, not billable hours - AI-native culture — you’ll work with peers who deeply understand modern AI’s potential and limits - Backed to build — supported by $3M in seed funding from Rally Ventures, Traction Capital, and PurePlay Partners - Real collaboration — open conversations, shared ownership, and space to bring your voice and creativity ### Equal Opportunity Blank Metal is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
