> 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 (US, East Coast) Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/fede9ed166946063 Neural Concept posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in US · city not listed, at $125,000–$200,000 base, below the not stated FDE median of $180,000 across 50 postings with pay.
