Four skills, rarely found in one CV
Forward Deployed Engineers turn enterprise AI pilots into paying, company-wide deployments. The job asks for all four of these at once.
Ships production code
Ships real software into enterprise environments, not just prototypes and demos.
Sits with the customer
Works on site with enterprise teams, from IT and security to the business, and earns their trust.
Scopes messy problems
Turns vague business needs into a plan that survives procurement, security review and legacy systems.
Owns the outcome
Takes a pilot all the way to rollout, and measures success by what the customer gets.
Enterprise FDEs are hard to find. In regulated industries, even more so.
Deploying AI inside a bank, an insurer or a hospital group is a different job from shipping it to a startup. Few engineers have done it, and fewer still have done it well.
Regulation shapes every deployment
From GDPR and the EU AI Act in Europe to financial and healthcare rules everywhere. An enterprise FDE designs for compliance from day one, not after the security review.
AI meets decades of legacy
Enterprises run on SAP, mainframes, on-premise data centres and systems older than most startups. AI only creates value once it's wired into them.
Many stakeholders, many languages
IT, security, procurement, works councils and business owners, often across several countries. Getting to yes takes judgment, not just code.
Everyone is hiring the same few
The FDE role is new. Few engineers have run it inside a regulated enterprise, and every agentic company is competing for the ones who have.
Enterprise deals stall without the right FDE
For agentic companies
Pilots stall between proof of concept and rollout. Standard interviews test coding, not enterprise judgment, and job posts draw floods of engineers who have never sat with a corporate customer.
For outstanding but unconventional candidates
Enterprise experience rarely reads well on a CV. Titles vary, from solutions engineer to applied AI engineer, and people who learned the job inside a consultancy or a corporate IT team get filtered out.
For engineers who are looking for a change
There is no clear path in. Engineers who want to work with enterprise customers, and consultants who want to get closer to code, have no structured way to close the gap.
Every step moves you forward
Every step with us leaves you with a clear roadmap to break into top FDE roles: interviews with partner scale-ups, or the prep to get there.
Apply
Tell us about your background. Non-linear paths welcome.
Take the assessment
Built around real enterprise deployment scenarios: code, customer judgment, scoping and ownership.
Get your result
Go straight to interviews, or stay in the network with six months of FDE prep materials.
Grow and re-assess
Build the missing skills, then re-assess for interviews when you're ready.
The difference
- Curated to the top 1% of FDEs
- Assessed on enterprise deployment scenarios, not just code
- A direct line to founders and deployment teams
- Apply once, meet multiple agentic companies
- A path into the role if you're not there yet
- Coaching built specifically for enterprise FDEs
Only meet engineers who can deploy in the enterprise
Pre-assessed on what matters
Every Network engineer has been tested on enterprise scenarios: compliance, legacy integration and stakeholder management, not just coding.
The top 1% only
You see a short list of the strongest candidates, not a flood of CVs to screen.
Pay on success
No retainer. You pay a success fee only when you hire.
