> 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. # Databricks Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/b489610ce792078f RevStar posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs, remote, hiring in Texas with no pay posted.

Contribute to internal RevStar code libraries, reusable accelerators, and technical delivery best practices. ### Requirements ### Technical Expertise: - 5+ years of hands-on experience in Data Engineering, Machine Learning, or Solutions Architecture. - 3+ years of deep technical experience within the Databricks Ecosystem (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow, Spark/PySpark, Databricks Workflows/Jobs, Mosaic AI). - Generative AI / ML: Practical experience designing and deploying RAG pipelines, fine-tuning LLMs, working with vector databases, and managing ML pipelines end-to-end. - Cloud Architecture: Strong expertise in cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred—S3, Glue, Lambda, Redshift, etc.). - Data Migration: Proven track record of migrating enterprise legacy data warehouses/lakes onto Databricks. - Databricks Certifications: Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional and/or Machine Learning Professional preferred. ### Client & Business Acumen: - Enterprise Experience: Demonstrated track record of leading technical delivery for Fortune 500 or large enterprise clients (Healthcare, Retail, Consumer Goods experience is a strong plus). - Consulting & Customer-Facing Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; comfortable presenting technical architecture, building POCs/demos, and managing client stakeholders up to the C-suite. - Growth Mindset: Ability to spot technical expansion opportunities within existing client accounts and serve as a technical advocate to grow account footprint. ### Benefits - **Paid Time Off** – Take the time you need to recharge and stay productive. - **Remote-First Working Environment** – Collaborate from anywhere while staying connected with our global team. - **Comprehensive Health Coverage** – Medical, Dental, Vision - **401(k) Retirement Plan** – Plan for your future with access to a company-sponsored 401(k) program. - **Annual Learning & Development Stipend** – Invest in your skills with conferences, certifications, or courses. - **Peer Mentorship & Coaching** – Learn from experienced engineers, product managers, and architects to accelerate your growth. - **Professional Growth Opportunities** – Exposure to cutting-edge AWS GenAI, data, and cloud technologies across diverse industries. - **Company Outings & Volunteer Opportunities** – Build relationships and give back to the community. - **Collaborative, Innovative Culture** – Work alongside top talent in a fast-paced, supportive environment that values curiosity and initiative. ### Equal Opportunity Employment At RevStar, we don’t just accept differences — we celebrate them, we support them, and we thrive on them for the benefit of our employees, our customers, and our community.
