Companies hiring forward deployed engineers

Directory

These are companies hiring forward deployed engineers, based on their own careers pages. A forward deployed engineer (FDE) is a software engineer who works inside a customer's team and builds what that customer needs.

How we chose these companies

A company made the list only if its own careers site showed a role with "forward deployed" in the title, or a named forward deployed team, when we checked. We left out companies where the only evidence was a recruiter repost or a search result.

None of these companies are clients of ours. We describe their public hiring. To apply for a role, go to the company directly.

Tell us the role and the hours. We send you a shortlist of people who fit.
