Forward deployed engineers sit at the boundary between a product and its enterprise customers, writing production code while also consulting on architecture, leading implementation projects, and acting as a technical escalation point. The work varies considerably by employer. Stripe's professional services role involves building and deploying integrations using full-stack languages including TypeScript, Ruby, and Go. Ramp's AI-focused posting centres on designing AI solutions for finance workflows, from discovery through to production. Datadog's senior role is narrower, focused on implementing feature flags across unfamiliar codebases. At the more strategic end, MongoDB's lead position owns architecture standards and serves as a trusted adviser to customer executives, while Amazon's engineering manager role leads a pod of engineers across concurrent AI engagements. Notion's architect posting focuses on designing AI-native workflows and driving adoption. Many postings also carry LLM and agent-building responsibilities, reflecting a strong AI thread across the sample.
These figures reflect how often a skill appears in posting descriptions across all 68 listings, not a count of formal requirements. Python and API work appear in the majority of postings, with LLMs and agent-related skills mentioned in roughly half. TypeScript and Java appear in a significant minority. Cloud platforms — AWS, Azure, and GCP — are spread fairly evenly across a third to under a third of postings. SQL, CI/CD, and Spark appear in a smaller subset. Treat the counts as a signal of frequency, not of universal necessity.
The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.
Most postings on this page specify onsite work in New York, meaning physical presence in a customer or employer office is explicitly expected. A notable minority state hybrid arrangements, which typically imply a mix of office and remote days, though the precise split is not stated in most cases. A small number of postings are listed as fully remote. No postings had unknown work-mode information in this sample. Candidates should check individual postings for specifics, as customer-site travel requirements are mentioned in several summaries and may apply regardless of the stated office arrangement.
