> 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 Forward Deployed AI Architect (GenAI, AWS) Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/903c81955c29bc1e Provectus posts a senior FDE role to build what the customer runs in New York, NY, at $200,000–$250,000 base, above the senior FDE median of $190,000 across 1,865 postings with pay.

You embed inside a bank, an insurer, or a health system, learn the work, and ship a Claude + AWS system into their real, regulated production — then you watch the business number move. We’re an Anthropic and AWS Partner with 150+ certified architects. That means the newest models, real budgets, and problems that matter — without the layers, politics, and years-to-impact of a hundred-thousand-person firm. 350+ builders, 100+ customers in production, founder-led since 2010, offices across North America, LATAM, and EMEA. ### Why Provectus - **Frontier access** — Anthropic Preferred Partner: newest Claude models, real budgets, real problems. - **Real tasks (not scope), real deployment.** You go where the operating problem is and ship production code to real users, not slide decks that sit in a drive. - **Embedded, not engaged.** You are part of the customer’s team and inside their process — not a vendor running a project alongside it. Embedded is not staff-augmented. - **Autonomous.** You own the work from framing through to production, visible to clients and founders. You own the method; nobody hands you a ticket. - **Your experience stays portable.** Every engagement is a new problem, often in a new industry, so your skills compound instead of narrowing to one product. No legacy-maintenance grind, not a single stack. - **Craft & growth** — build beside senior FDEs on a Claude-certified team; a real platform (talks, OSS) to grow your name. - **We give you a stage:** Claude certification, conference talks, open-source contributions, published work under your own name. ### Requirements: - Typically 7+ years building software, a substantial share of it writing production code you were accountable for. You are hands-on today and intend to stay that way. - Genuinely willing to spend time understanding someone else’s job before writing code; demonstrated ability to become conversant in an unfamiliar business function quickly. - Shipped GenAI/LLM systems to production — not demos, not notebooks. You’ve handled the parts that get hard after the prototype works. - You evaluate. You have built or owned an eval suite for a non-deterministic system, and you can explain what you measured and why. - Strong engineering fundamentals — dropped into an unfamiliar codebase or language, you’re productive. Python and/or TypeScript proficiency; depth matters more than stack. - Cloud-native delivery on AWS (GCP/Azure a plus), including the operational reality of a system someone else inherits. - Pre-sales experience. Credible with senior stakeholders — you can hold a redesign conversation with a BU head and a scoping conversation with a CTO without losing either room. - Comfort with ambiguity and ownership. Engagements start underspecified by design. Closing that gap is the job. - Hands-on experience with Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork (skills, workflows, MCP, integrations, connectors, custom harnesses). ### Nice to have - Containers and orchestration (Kubernetes/ECS) and CI/CD in production. - IaC depth: AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform. - Open-source contributions or public writing on applied AI. ### What you’ll do: - Spend the first weeks of each engagement in the operator’s seat, learning the constraints from the inside, then rebuild the function from first principles alongside the client and a Forward Deployed Executive — and you are the one who builds it. - Be part of the customer’s team, inside their process; work on real tasks, not scoped deliverables, and own the method autonomously. - You won’t start from zero. Provectus builds industry Blueprints — working systems that have already shipped for a customer in your industry. Your engagement starts from that baseline, and what you learn in the field goes back into it. - Deliver across Cowork Activation, Agentic SDLC, and Blueprint Activations in Financial Services and Healthcare. - Help shape how leading enterprises adopt AI, from strategy through first deployment; help build the tooling and frameworks of a growing AI delivery practice. ### What We Offer: - Full-time. - On-site visits to client’s facilities and our office in NYC 1/week - Unlimited Vacation policy. - Generous health, vision, and dental insurance. - 401(K) matching plan. - Base salary $200k–$250k + bonuses; OTE up to $300k. The salary range is determined through interviews and a review of the education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, and alignment with market data. ### No Visa sponsorship ### We’re real: - **A person reads your application.** We filter out AI-generated and fraudulent submissions automatically. Every application that clears that filter is read by someone on our team. - **We may ask for a quick ID verification.** Fraudulent applications are common, and this protects real candidates. - **You’ll meet the people you’d work with.** We host AI engineering events in New York and San Francisco. We'd be happy to talk in person. Your interviews are with Pavel Borobov, Solutions Architect, and Stepan Pushkarev, Co-Founder & CEO. ### How we hire: 1. Recruitment interview. 2. Tech interview with our FDE (30 min). 3. A live engineering building session (1.5 hours). We hand you a business function and the constraints. You have to understand the job and rebuild it — then say what you’d build and how you’d know it worked. ** *Use AI the way you normally would; we expect AI-generated code. What we look at is how you used AI, the judgment behind your choices, and what you researched beyond what any LLM already knows.*** 4. Soft skills interview. 5. Offer discussion. - [View the posting at Provectus](https://jobs.lever.co/provectus/643bfee8-9c9d-4281-b017-61c8a4e41957/apply) ## FDE jobs in New York metro 917 postings · 425 companies · read Nov 14, 2026 Median **$198,350** · middle half $165,000–$233,125 - [Rank these jobs by fit to you](https://nextmove.md/sign-up?from=%2Ffde%2Fjobs%2F903c81955c29bc1e&placement=list) ### [Senior Forward Deployed AI Architect (GenAI, AWS)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/903c81955c29bc1e) **Provectus** Enterprise AI systems integration and consulting - Production Claude - Banks and insurers - 100+ customers **$200,000–$250,000** · New York, NY · Hybrid Posted today New ### [Principal Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/c9f674ca1978918a) **BetterUp** Late-stage private Enterprise workforce development and coaching technology - AI assistant coach - 7–8-figure deals - Agent integrations **$230,000–$320,000** · Austin, TX +2 · Hybrid Posted today New ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/3a77c0372b1b22f9) **Cloudflare** Public · 5000+ people Infra / Edge - Workers AI - Engineering teams - Reference builds **$212,000–$290,000** · Austin, TX +3 · Hybrid Posted today New ### [Forward Deployed Engineer III, Generative AI, Google Cloud, Healthcare](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/39e8b118106e6d5e) **Google** Public · 5000+ people Tech / AI / Cloud - Multi-agent AI - Healthcare clients - LangGraph **$174,000–$252,000** · Chicago, IL +1 Posted yesterday New ### [Forward Deployed Engineer (NYC)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/784d93851b4b4f4b) **Rox** Series A · 100–200 people AI Agents (Sales / RevOps) - AI workflows - GTM and RevOps - Python + SQL **$180,000–$200,000** · New York, NY · Hybrid Posted yesterday New ### [Forward Deployed AI Architect](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a255cc6d726eec7f) **Crowe** 5000+ people Accounting, audit, tax, advisory, and consulting services - Agentic AI - 80% travel - Client-embedded **$102,400–$204,100** · Chicago, IL +36 · Hybrid Posted 2 days ago New ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (GenAI, AWS)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/a18596fa79441ed8) **Provectus** Enterprise AI systems integration and consulting - Regulated AI systems - Banks, insurers - LLM eval suites **$180,000–$250,000** · New York, NY · Hybrid Posted yesterday New ### [Forward Deployed Engineer, AWS Forward Deployed Engineering](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/7ecba7c7dee12d44) **Amazon (incl AWS)** Public · 5000+ people Tech / Retail / Cloud - Production AI - Enterprise clients - 30–50% travel **$143,700–$223,600** · Seattle, WA +4 Posted 2 days ago New ### [Senior Software Engineer (Legal), CoCounsel FDE](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/785602eaba12acb3) **Thomson Reuters** Public · 5000+ people Professional information services / legal-tech / tax and compliance software / news - Legal AI workflows - Legal customers - Prompt engineering **$102,200–$218,600** · Frisco, TX +2 · Hybrid Posted 3 days ago New - [Show all 917 jobs](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?region=nyc-metro) Hiring at Provectus and want this page changed or removed?
