Need someone who works with customers too?

If the work happens in a customer's environment, or needs someone who can sit with users as well as build, consider a forward deployed engineer instead.

Hiring options

Hire the way that fits the work

Compare options

Contract

An FDE embedded in your team for the length of the work. Best when you have a defined program and need the skills now, without adding headcount.

FDE hub

A deployment strategist and a small team of engineers. Best when the work needs business and engineering skills at once, with one point of accountability.
