Which skills do FDE job postings mention?

See which technical skills FDE postings mention and how those skills relate to the work.

How to read a technology mention

For example, a Google Cloud GenAI Forward Deployed Engineer posting requires experience shipping production AI or software using Python, C++, TypeScript, or comparable languages. Its preferred qualifications separately mention model fine-tuning and advanced generative-media techniques. This is one role’s requirement, not a definition of every FDE job. The FDE jobs list lets you inspect the source posting for the technologies that matter to you.

Technology is only one part of the job

If you are preparing for a role, start with the work the posting asks you to do. Then check which language, cloud platform, data system, or AI technique supports that work. The skills and learning guide can help you plan study. It should not be read as a claim that a course or certification is required.
