> 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. # Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/dc8bc5569b200e32 Temper posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in San Francisco, CA with no pay posted.

The Problem Lack of connectivity is the most fundamental problem in the physical economy. The physical economy runs on networks of interconnected companies, but on systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Every time two companies need to exchange data, someone builds a custom integration by hand: business analysts, integration engineers, QA. Manual, every time. (Google EDI if you haven't. It's wild.) A lot of companies have tried to fix this. Nobody has. We think AI agents are the way. ### 02. What We're Building Temper is an agentic integration platform for the real economy. Specialized AI agents handle the full lifecycle: gathering requirements in plain English, generating integration code, testing, deploying, and keeping integrations alive in production. When something breaks, the agents fix it. We have paying enterprise customers and real integrations running in production. There's more demand than we can keep up with. Seed-funded with over $8M raised. Earliest team of under 10. ### 03. The Tech The agents do real work with real consequences in production systems. What you'd build: - Agent orchestration across multiple specialized agents coordinating complex workflows - Platform engineering: a mini Vercel for integration runtime with durable execution - Self-healing systems that detect failures and recover autonomously - A knowledge base of undocumented systems that gets smarter with every integration Nobody has shipped this kind of platform at production scale, even in other verticals. ### 04. The Founders **Daniel (CPO)** grew up in his family's trucking business. Built the freight product at Hive, Europe's leading eCom logistics startup, from 0 to $M. Hardware-native engineer who taught himself to code. **Heinrich (CEO)** ran 100+ person warehouse operations at Amazon, then consulted on system integrations at KPMG. Built Hive's largest revenue line from zero. **Nick (CTO)** built Lilith at 16, led an offensive security program for a nation-state, entrepreneur for 8 years. In eCom, he led the tech that scaled a company from 0 to $100M in 3 years. Daniel and Heinrich built Hive from pre-seed to 400+ people. They've been living this problem for years. ### 05. The Role You'll own the full arc of getting Temper running in production at enterprise customers: scoping integrations, deploying them, and keeping them live. You're the person customers rely on when it matters. Every customer engagement surfaces something: an edge case, a pattern, a gap. You'll build the fix yourself -- directly in the product -- and ship it. The feedback loop from production to roadmap to code runs through you. Stack: TypeScript, React, Bun, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS You're comfortable running multiple AI agents in parallel. You pick up new things fast. ### 06. You Might Be a Fit If - You've shipped real things end-to-end, multiple times. You owned them. - You're energized by customer problems, not just engineering ones. - You code with AI agents and lean into it, with enough taste to know what's worth shipping. - You hold strong technical opinions and change them when the evidence says so. - You move independently. - You want to do the best work of your career. - You want a true early-stage, in-person experience in San Francisco: fast-paced, high intensity. ### 07. What We Offer - Top-quartile compensation and meaningful equity - Top-tier office in San Francisco - M4 MacBook Pro and whatever else you need to move fast - Full health coverage ### 08. The Process - **Screen (20 min):** Quick chat, mutual fit. - **Deep dive (45 min):** Your career, what you've built, how you think. - **Technical (60 min):** Design a system with us. No leetcode. - **Paid work day:** A real task from our backlog, in person. - **Offer:** Under two weeks from first call to offer.
