- Gabriel_Martin 2y agoIts a typo, supposed to be "four word engineer". Any more than four and you're fired.

- alpha_squared 2y ago> What is a forward deployed engineer? Great question as this isn't a title I was familiar with until I myself joined the company, but this is a common title in Palantir and other consulting companies. It's an engineer role that interfaces with external customers. While we're not a consultancy, some of the work that an FDE will perform is very similar to that of consulting as they will be directly interfacing with external customers.
- gnaman 2y agoIn B2B businesses, it is usually used for engineers that help integrate client systems to their own systems because when an enterprise is paying millions for a piece of software, they don't want to change their own systems. Work would typically involve writing scripts, interacting with customers understanding their needs and coming up with a bespoke solution that works for them.
