Forward Deploy

Forward Deploy is a channel about the highest-leverage role in software: the forward deployed engineer.

Every week we break down how forward deployed engineers (FDEs), solutions architects, and deployment strategists take AI and enterprise software the last mile. Out of the demo, into production, inside the customer's environment, against real data.

Palantir invented the role. OpenAI, Anthropic, Scale, and Sierra are hiring for it now. Almost nobody is teaching it.

What you'll get:

FDE career guides. What the job is, how the interview works, how comp is structured, how to break in from engineering, consulting, or data.

Deployment teardowns. How real enterprise AI implementations ship or die.

Field playbooks. Discovery, pilot design, stakeholder mapping, killing a bad requirement.

No talking head. No hype. Built for engineers who want to build things people actually use.

New videos every Tuesday.
