Guide
What is a forward-deployed engineer?
A forward-deployed engineer (FDE) is a software engineer who works directly with a company's customers to make its product work in their world. FDEs integrate systems, write production code against real customer data, and carry what they learn back to the core product team.
Palantir popularised the role, alongside its "deployment strategists". In the last two years it has spread across AI labs and AI-native startups, which hire FDEs to turn models into working systems for enterprise customers. Several of the employers below, including Mistral AI, Anthropic and OpenAI, list FDE roles.
What the job looks like
Expect hands-on coding (often Python and TypeScript, data pipelines and LLM tooling), a lot of time with customers, and some travel. Titles vary: Forward Deployed Engineer, Deployment Strategist, Applied AI Engineer and AI Solutions Engineer often describe similar work.
