Forward Deployed Engineering is the fastest-growing role in software — postings grew more than 800% year-over-year as AI companies discovered what Palantir has known for a decade: shipping production software inside a customer's environment is a discipline of its own. But FDE roles are scattered across hundreds of career pages, mislabelled on generic job boards, and buried under thousands of unrelated “engineer” listings.
FDE Jobs fixes that. We pull openings directly from the career feeds of companies that hire Forward Deployed Engineers — OpenAI, Palantir, Anthropic, Databricks, Scale AI, and more. Each listing is scored for FDE relevance, deduplicated, and linked straight to the original posting, so what you see is real, current, and applies in one click.
Completeness is the point. The role hides behind at least six titles — Forward Deployed Software Engineer, Applied AI Engineer, Deployment Strategist, Implementation Engineer, and more — so candidates searching the literal phrase “forward deployed engineer” miss roughly a third of the live market. Our matcher tracks the variants and normalises them into one feed, with salary ranges surfaced wherever companies disclose them.
Our primary sources are the public careers feeds companies themselves publish (Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby job boards), supplemented by job aggregators for long-tail employers. We don't repost stale listings: jobs disappear from FDE Jobs when they disappear from the source.
