> 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.

Only what the posting states. Most postings say nothing, and silence is not a refusal.

- A posting saying sponsorship is not available has stated a condition for that role.
- A posting saying nothing has left the answer unknown, and silence is neither an invitation nor a rejection.
- Ask one specific question: can you sponsor the visa or transfer relevant to my situation, for this role and location, now?
- What a posting says about sponsorship is not legal advice about your own situation.
- Browse [postings that state sponsorship is available](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?visa=yes) and [postings that state it is not](https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs?visa=no).

## Check the employer's own posting

Terms change between the day a posting is written and the day you apply. Open the original posting from each job page before you rely on a sponsorship statement, and ask the recruiting team where the text is ambiguous.
