> 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.

## The job description from Eagle

Posted by Eagle on Nov 11, 2026

### About Eagle

Eagle is on a mission to re-energize the engineering profession. Every road, bridge, and building starts at an engineering firm. There are 40K+ of them in the US, and most run on software older than the engineers using it.

This legacy toolset was designed before the term "user experience" ever existed and it's demotivating, error-prone, and slow. We're embedding deep inside the firm and building the Iron Man suit for civil engineers to pull them out of this tedium and get them back to designing the future of our built environment.

Eagle was founded by Mayank Mardia (CEO), Sohum Daftary (President), and Tom Shouler, P.E. (CTO), and is backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

### The Opportunity

As a **Deployment Strategist**, you’ll report to Tom (CTO) and own the successful implementation of our technology within a partner’s business. You’ll be the lever to turn built software into an outcome and work across our entire team. You get a front-row seat to building a company within a problem domain that's barely been touched by AI.

### What you'll do

- Own our platform deployment and maximize the value it delivers within a partner’s business
- Navigate the last mile from built software to outcome with empathy, persuasion, and excellent communication
- Separate signal from noise and bring insights back to the team to shape a better product
- Translate your learnings into runbooks that help us drive faster change with future partners

### Our Values

- **Ask Why:** We have a beginner’s mind, incessantly ask questions, and share our success with others. We always want to know what we can be doing better.
- **Read the Room:** We read the situation and meet people where they are, whether that's a counterparty, a client, or each other. We listen first and understand how our words and actions impact one another.
- **Get on a Flight:** We have dogged persistence. We operate with a sense of urgency with our work and careers, and we want to push and be pushed.

### Potential Profiles

3+ years of experience in the following roles:

- **Former engineers** who are drawn towards scaling their impact in a more product-forward role (while still being able to build the 0→1 prototype on occasion)
- **Ex-consultants** who enjoy strategy but crave less red tape and more rapid and iterative implementation
- **Product managers** who want to work on ambitious problems with high-charisma, generative engineers

The list is not exhaustive. Do not limit yourself if you don't fit neatly into any of these buckets.

### Compensation

- Competitive cash compensation ($150K–$250K depending on experience)
- Founding equity, scaled to scope

### Benefits

- **Health Insurance:** Full healthcare, medical and dental
- **Retirement:** 401(k)
- **PTO:** Flexible time off
- **Travel:** Company-paid
- **Office:** HQ in New York City

### Process

Our process takes about 2 weeks: a conversation with Tom or Mayank, a second founder conversation, a 60-minute technical interview, followed by a work trial where you'll get to meet the rest of the team and build with us for a day.
