About FDE Atlas

FDE Atlas collects public information about the forward deployed engineer role and organizes it so it is easy to browse. It is rebuilt from its sources on every update; this version was built on 2026-10-31.

Sources

• Jobs and salaries: public job board APIs (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) of companies hiring FDEs. A role counts as open if it appeared in the latest crawl of its board.
• Articles: blogs, newsletters, news and reports found by a heuristic focused crawler that starts from seeds and follows links from relevant pages, site feeds and automatically expanded search queries.
• Open source: GitHub search plus repository links found in articles, kept only if the README is about the role.
• Discussions: Hacker News, via the public Algolia API.

What is shown

Articles appear as a title, source, date and a short excerpt, with a link to the original. Full text is never republished. Job postings are summarized as role, location and disclosed pay range, linking to the company's own posting. Sections, topics and rankings are generated automatically by rules, so expect some noise.
