What does a Forward Deployed Engineer do?

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works directly with customers. They run discovery to understand a workflow, design a solution, connect it to the customer's data and systems, deploy it, and stay close until it delivers value. With AI, that often means building RAG systems on company documents or agents that automate business processes.

The role sits between software engineering, solutions engineering and consulting, so it rewards people who can write solid code and explain it clearly to business teams.
