> 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. # Staff AI Product Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/ec19b292670c5264 LettrLabs posts a staff FDE role to build for teams inside the company, remote, hiring in California, at $200,000–$250,000 base, level with the staff+ FDE median of $225,000 across 388 postings with pay.

One Example: When a storm hits, our platform geo-locates to zip code, activates direct mail campaigns in minutes, and tracks every conversion back to digital. ### The Role LettrLabs already runs on AI. We built our own internal agentic operating system, and AI is deployed extensively across our technical teams. Now we're bringing that leverage to the rest of the company. As a Staff AI Product Engineer, you'll build genuinely novel AI products for our business teams: sales, go-to-market, customer service, marketing, and finance. This is not an integration or solutions role. You'll own real products end to end, from discovery with each team to production systems that move their numbers. The role is roughly 50% product and 50% engineering. You'll sit with each team, map how their work actually flows, find where AI creates real lift, then build and own the product. You report directly to the VP of Software. ### What you'll do - Embed with teams across the business to understand their goals, workflows, and pain points firsthand. - Map business processes end to end and identify where AI tools, agents, or automation will move the team's KPIs. - Design, build, and ship AI tools and harnesses, from prototype to production. - Own what you ship after launch: reliability, iteration, adoption, and measuring impact. - Work with each team to define its success metrics and baselines, such as pipeline per BDR or customer retention. - Build on our existing stack where it fits, and choose new technologies where they serve the problem better. - Create reusable patterns, components, and context so each new deployment is faster than the last. - Teach and enable teams to use and extend the tools, multiplying impact beyond what you build directly. ### Requirements - 8+ years of software engineering experience, with work at the staff level or equivalent scope. - Meaningful product engineering experience: you've shipped user-facing products and own outcomes. - Hands-on experience building with LLMs, such as agents, tool use, retrieval, evals, or context engineering. - Strong product sense: you can turn a messy business process into a clear problem and a working solution. - Excellent communication with non-technical stakeholders, from frontline reps to executives. - Proven ability to work autonomously, set your own priorities, and ship quickly with high quality. - Comfort owning production systems, including monitoring, reliability, and ongoing iteration. ### Nice to have - Experience as a forward deployed engineer, solutions engineer, or in another customer-embedded engineering role. - Familiarity with sales, marketing, customer success, or finance tooling and workflows (CRMs, support platforms, BI). ### How we'll measure success Success is direct, measurable lift on each team's own KPIs. You'll set those metrics and baselines with each team, then move them. ### LettrLabs USA: $200,000 to $250,000 USD *Actual base salary offered will be determined by: experience, skills, and work location.
