What the ElevenLabs forward deployed engineer role is

ElevenLabs says its FDEs are "embedded with our most strategic customers". They own major projects from start to finish, from technical design to full integrations. They work daily with the customer's engineers and executives.

The company sells ElevenAgents for voice and chat agents, ElevenCreative for speech, music, image and video, and ElevenAPI for its audio models. FDE work sits on top of these.

The requirements are short. Python, software design and API integration skills, clear communication, and experience working with customers. The posting says "it's ok if you only worked with customers in student clubs or side projects."

How is it different from an FDE at OpenAI?
