Forward Deployed
Engineers of New York
A community for engineers who build at the customer edge. Share what's working in the field, connect with companies hiring forward deployed talent, and help shape what this community becomes. Starting with senior leaders who want to build something meaningful for NYC.
The New York Edge
New York is home to the highest concentration of complex, high-stakes enterprises in the world: finance, media, healthcare, infrastructure. If you're an FDE here, you're solving problems that don't exist anywhere else.
Forward deployed engineers build at the customer edge. They ship code that closes deals, architect systems that drive revenue, and move fast enough to prove value before the contract ends. This work requires bridging technical depth with business savvy, and thriving in ambiguity that would paralyze most teams.

Define What We Stand For
This is a founding moment. We're bringing together senior FDEs to collectively decide what this community should be. Your voice will shape our priorities, structure, and direction.
Build Real Relationships
Meet other senior FDEs working at top companies across NYC. These are peers who understand the unique challenges of building in the field and can share hard-won lessons.
Strengthen the Hiring Pipeline
Help establish what great FDE hiring looks like. Connect with companies building forward deployed teams and talented engineers looking for their next challenge.
Share What's Working
Talk openly about what's actually working in the field. Discuss technical patterns, customer engagement strategies, and how to balance shipping fast with building right.
