> 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. # Software Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/92aa54f47ce41182 Genera posts a FDE role to build for teams inside the company in San Francisco, CA with no pay posted.

No, we aren’t talking about compute capacity. The #1 bottleneck for enterprise AI is deployment capacity. FDE is the hottest job in tech, and no fast growing AI company can hire enough of them to keep up with customer demand. Historically, System Integrators have been the default solution for scaling software implementations without linearly adding more headcount. But SI’s are a $450b market with a premise that is fundamentally at odds with the promise of AI. You shouldn’t pay consultants by the hour to deploy software that is designed to displace human labor. Genera agents automate routine deployment work like requirements gathering, data migration, and configuration building. Our deployment team is made up of the top FDE talent every company can’t hire fast enough. With Genera, our customers pay for outcomes not hours and their customers go live faster than ever before. Genera was founded by Will and James, Stanford classmates with two decades of experience building and deploying AI products. We raised $10m led by First Round Capital and we are growing our team in SF and Bangalore. ### About the Role We are growing our team of core product engineers who build the system that automates enterprise software deployments. This includes agents that automate routine tasks, our context layer that contains the full history of every deployment, and integrations that allow us to plug into our customers’ existing workflows like an always-on teammate. You’ll work closely with our customers and Deployments team to deliver outcomes, not just software. ### Your Skillset - You have 5+ years of experience shipping enterprise products for complex use cases, ideally with an AI slant to them - You are a full stack generalist with experience in TypeScript/React + familiarity with modern AI infrastructure (Modal, Temporal, Claude Agent SDK, etc) - Your default mode is ship fast and iterate, including putting together quick prototypes and demo videos to get feedback - You have strong product sense and want to be involved in roadmap/design decisions, not just execute on a spec - You are a strong communicator both internally and externally, and enjoy spending time with customers ### Your Mindset - You are deeply curious about product/company building– whether keeping up on the latest AI developments, or learning how to run a great sales call or marketing launch - You thrive in the face of ambiguity, bring an adventurous spirit to your work, and aren’t afraid to change direction when necessary - You have a growth mindset and are constantly looking for opportunities to improve as an individual and as a team/business - You have great taste that is expressed through your craft and commitment to quality when it comes to building products - You have exposure to and empathy for the challenges of deploying enterprise software, and are motivated to solve this problem for our customers ### Benefits & Perks - Great health insurance for you and your family - Lunch in the office every day, weekly team dinners - Learn from our amazing network of mentors + investors - Regular team offsites in awesome places - Unlimited PTO that we encourage you to use to live a full life - Build the company you want to work at!
