> 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.

### About Eudia

Eudia is revolutionizing legal work through AI-powered Augmented Intelligence, empowering Fortune 500 legal teams to accelerate decision-making, mitigate risk, and drive strategic growth. With $105M in Series A funding led by General Catalyst, we’re crafting a category-defining platform that fuses AI-driven automation with human expertise, transforming legal departments into engines of innovation.

We’re solving one of the most complex, unsolved challenges in AI: bringing trust, accuracy, and security to legal automation.

We’re a team of builders, operators, and problem-solvers who are passionate about reshaping an industry that has long been resistant to change. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged, take ownership from day one, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in AI and legal—we’d love to meet you.

- **GTM Enablement:** Support GTM teams on customer calls and demos, educate them on legal workflows and product capabilities, and equip them to effectively position and demonstrate the product.

### What We're Looking For

- JD or equivalent legal qualification.
- 4+ years of practicing law and the ability to manage matters independently.
- Strong user of AI tools, with a mindset of leveraging technology to scale impact.
- Entrepreneurial, highly adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.
- A relentless owner mindset. You proactively identify what needs to happen, align the right people, drive outcomes, and close the loop, even if the problem starts outside your lane.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge legal and technical audiences.
- Excitement about the legal tech and the opportunity to transform how legal work is done.

### Why You'll Love Working Here

- **Impactful Work:** Be part of a team at the forefront of legal AI innovation.
