Forget Data Science—This New AI Role is Exploding with 800% More Postings

AI-related job losses (and future non-hires) are the talk of the software town right now, but (at least in the short/near term) a new AI-led tech role has emerged with a massive increase of job postings (800%) over the last 9 months:

Forerunners in the AI race, such as Anthropic and OpenAI, are actively recruiting software engineering specialists called forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) to help with tailoring AI models to meet customer needs. More than just working with back-office coders, these engineers are embedded within customer and product engineering teams...

Unlike traditional software engineers, FDEs go beyond writing code to go out in the field and understand where AI can make the biggest impact. Their mission is to bridge the “last mile” of AI: transforming a general-purpose model into scalable AI solutions that reflect complex client requirements and solve their problems...
