The prototype and script category covers postings where the main coding work described is prototyping or scripting. It does not mean the job is temporary, junior, or free of production responsibility. A prototype may support an evaluation or customer project, and a posting can also describe integration, deployment, or other work. Read the full responsibilities before using the label to judge technical depth.
When comparing a role, ask what happens to the prototype after the evaluation, who owns the handoff, how much code is expected to run in production, and how the employer defines success. Record salary, level, bonus, equity, location, and travel separately.
Browse the current prototype and script FDE postings. You can compare them with production-code postings and the overall FDE salary data. Confirm the current scope and salary with the employer.
