Start with the work
Writes and ships production code inside your product. A forward-deployed engineer owns features end to end, from the database and API to the screen your customer uses.
Connects the product to the real world: your customers’ data, single sign-on, payment and CRM systems, security reviews and the compliance questions that arrive with your first serious customers.
Sits close to users and stakeholders, turns what they need into technical decisions, and explains tradeoffs in plain language to founders, buyers and your own engineers.

A forward-deployed engineer stays on monthly to ship features, onboard customers and keep the product reliable.
Before you decide
A forward-deployed engineer (FDE) is a software engineer who works directly with a customer’s team and users to make software work in their real environment. The role combines three jobs: builder, integrator and translator. Palantir popularized the title, and AI companies now hire FDEs to move customers from pilots to production. Read our guide: what a forward-deployed engineer does and when to hire one.
