> 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. # Deployment Strategist Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ddfe12a07bd107ab Sable posts a FDE role to integrate and configure the product in San Francisco, CA with no pay posted.

Aidan runs a live, two-way conversation inside a real product environment, clicking through the product like a human, watching the user's screen, and adapting the journey on the fly. Every conversation feeds a self-improving context graph we call the Brain, so Aidan gets smarter with each call. ### The role You own Sable's deployments. The moment a customer signs, the outcome is yours: you scope the deployment with their team, build the journeys, get Aidan performing, and take it live. Every deployment you lead successfully grows the account and makes the next customer easier to win. You're the person the customer's leadership deals with directly, and the person Sable's engineers build with. You decide what a deployment should look like, then drive the work to make it real. ### What you'll do - Own deployments end to end, from first scoping call to fully live - Build the journeys, tune Aidan's behavior, find where he falls short, and ship the fix that week - Hold the customer relationship: lead the calls, make commitments to their leadership, own the ROI case - Work directly with engineering to turn customer feedback into what gets built — spec it, prioritize it, and close the loop with the customer when it ships - Turn each deployment into playbook and process — how Sable deploys at scale gets decided by what you do now ### Who you are - Strong generalist who is equally energized by cracking a customer's problem and by shipping the fixes that solve it - Fast learner, as obsessed with personal improvement as with systems improvement. If you see something broken, you fix it before asking if it should be fixed - Customer-obsessed: you know their product, their metrics, and their priorities better than they expect you to, and their problem stays yours until it's solved - Thrive in ambiguity: you will be responsible for defining the need and scoping the code to solve it. Sable's founding team will be there to guide you, but customer outcomes will be yours to own - Bonus points for forward-deployed or customer-facing experience, or hands-on agent and prompt engineering work [View posting at Sable](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/sable/1372c8f7-36e3-479d-b372-5a68dfd62e5e/application) ## Similar jobs [PwC (US)](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/pwc-us) ### [Forward Deployed Software Engineer-Palantir Foundry-Manager](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/5c609381e348c6d6) Chicago, IL · Raleigh, NC · +57 more Hybrid 2w ago $99,000–$232,000 [Alpharun](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/alpharun) ### [Applied AI Solutions Engineer (Sales & Solution)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/999eb98a266693cc) San Francisco, CA On-site 3mo ago Pay not posted [Reducto](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/reducto) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer, Infrastructure Specialist](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/2cd6a2b490a4a574) San Francisco, CA On-site 5mo ago $200,000–$300,000 [AKASA](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/akasa) ### [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/6b9e2488e7fb7a49) San Francisco, CA Hybrid 3mo ago $150,000–$170,000 [Aircall](https://nextmove.md/fde/companies/aircall) ### [Senior Forward Deployed Engineer – Key Accounts (AI Solutions)](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/93c14f4837f3a281) San Francisco, CA 2mo ago $175,000–$230,000 - [Compare senior FDE salary ranges](https://nextmove.md/fde/salary/senior) - [Similar jobs in SF Bay Area](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?region=sf-bay-area) - [Similar jobs that integrate and configure the product](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?role=technical-delivery) Hiring at Sable and want this page changed or removed?
