> 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. # Lead, Integrations Engineering Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/cbfc45d188b6f22e Gen Digital Inc. posts a FDE role to lead deployment teams in New York, NY, at $200,000–$240,000 base, level with the staff+ FDE median of $225,000 across 388 postings with pay.

Its north star is delivering high-quality code that accelerates marketplace revenue. We’re looking for a player-coach to help lead the team through its next phase: establishing repeatable delivery standards, governing AI-native engineering practices, owning the highest-stakes partner engagements, and building strong partnerships with internal Product and Engineering teams. This role combines team leadership with hands-on engineering. You’ll help shape the FDE team’s strategy and best practices, lead the integrations that matter most—including new verticals, non-standard partner APIs, and hosted experiences—and work closely with partner engineering teams, Backend and Frontend Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Product, and commercial stakeholders. ### Key Responsibilities - Own technical strategy for demand-side delivery across the partner portfolio, setting standards adopted across FDE and Solutions Engineering. - Partner with your manager and cross-functional leaders to develop and implement standard operating procedures and delivery practices that help accelerate the team. - Personally lead the most complex, ambiguous, or new-vertical integrations end to end. - Turn bespoke builds into repeatable solutions, including shared modules, templates, and runbooks. - Architect and govern AI-native engineering practices, including code-generation pipelines, mapping automation, test-scaffolding agents, and human-review gates that keep AI-assisted builds safe and production-ready. - Mentor FDEs through design and code reviews, creating a feedback loop that raises the team’s engineering standard. - Drive structured Product and Engineering feedback loops that reduce future bespoke work and free team capacity for new workstreams. - Lead technical working sessions with partner engineering teams, bringing experienced hands-on guidance to critical integrations and hosted experiences. ### About You **Experience:** 8+ years of experience, including time in a senior or staff-level integration, platform, or forward-deployed engineering role. People leadership or strong informal team leadership experience is preferred. ### Skills - Write production-quality code in Scala and/or Python, with working comfort in Node.js/TypeScript for SDKs and tooling. - Bring deep REST/JSON API expertise, including authentication, idempotency, schema evolution, versioning, monitoring, and incident response. - Have a track record of building reusable architecture, tooling, or playbooks that scaled a team’s output without proportional headcount growth. - Use AI-native workflows and tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot as first-class accelerants, while knowing when deterministic approaches are the right choice. - Facilitate technical working sessions directly with partner engineering teams. ### Personal Attributes - Recognize patterns and turn novel solutions into repeatable practices. - Take ownership of complex, ambiguous work and balance strategic leadership with hands-on execution. - Build trust and credibility across partner, Product, Engineering, Solutions Engineering, and commercial teams. - Invest in colleagues’ growth through thoughtful mentoring, design feedback, and code review. ### What’s Next After you submit your application, you can expect the following steps in the recruitment process: - Online Technical Test - TA Call - Live Coding (Virtual) - FinalInterview – Hiring Manager (Virtual or face-to-face) [View posting at Gen Digital Inc.](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/gen-digital/1ffd927f-8000-41dd-8455-24222636221f/application) ## About Gen Digital Inc.
