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. # Forward Deployed Engineer - Finance Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/8716238de9f3cdd3 NVIDIA posts a FDE role to build for teams inside the company in Santa Clara, CA, at $116,000–$230,000 base, below the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,864 postings with pay.

It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world. NVIDIA Finance is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer and AI Enabling expert to help turn that potential into measurable business outcomes. Embedded within the Finance AI team, you will work at the intersection of a high variety of finance functions at NVIDIA, data platform teams, and applied AI. You will partner with finance leaders, subject-matter experts, data scientists, data engineers, DevOps engineers, AI citizen developers, knowledge workers, and external vendors to discover high-value opportunities, build trusted solutions, and help teams adopt new ways of working. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move comfortably from an ambiguous business problem to a working prototype, a production-ready solution, and sustained adoption. You will combine technical depth, business-savvy thinking, program leadership, and a strong teaching capacity to enable AI across our Finance organization. ### What you’ll be doing - Translate complex finance workflows and ambiguous business problems into clear requirements, technical designs, success measures, and delivery plans — guiding architecture across data, models, APIs, orchestration, UX, and human-in-the-loop controls. - Prototype and productionize AI solutions: agents, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow automation, analytics, and ML applications. - Partner with data owners and platform teams to securely integrate structured and unstructured data, set access controls, and improve data quality and lineage. - Lead technically and organizationally complex initiatives from discovery to launch, balancing experimentation with enterprise scale, security, governance, and maintainability. - Build reusable reference architectures, patterns, and enablement assets, and communicate recommendations, tradeoffs, and results to audiences from finance operators to executives and engineers. ### What we need to see - Hands-on Python, SQL, and Git, with Databricks or a comparable cloud data and AI platform. - Practical experience building and deploying modern AI — LLMs, prompt/context design, agents, MCPs, and evaluations — and integrating applications via APIs across structured and unstructured data. - Strong product and program judgment: create clarity from ambiguity, define an MVP, manage dependencies and risk, and deliver iteratively. - Working knowledge of responsible AI, privacy, security, and governance, with excellent communication that teaches technical concepts to nontechnical audiences and influences across functions without formal authority. - 3+ years in computer science, data science/engineering, analytics, automation, or applied AI. - A BS or MS degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Finance, Business Analytics, or a related field, or equivalent experience. ### Ways to stand out from the crowd - Applied AI, automation, or advanced analytics to tax, corporate development, treasury, venture capital, financial services, procurement, audit, or related areas. - Designed agentic workflows and securely connected models to enterprise systems like SAP, SFDC, or Workday. - Built communities of practice and taught varied technical audiences, using feedback and adoption data to improve enablement. Experience in a large, global technology company or another complex, high-growth environment. - A collaborative, customer-focused approach and demonstrated ability to influence across functions without relying on formal authority. - Curiosity, sound judgment, and a bias toward learning through experimentation while maintaining high standards for quality and trust.
