Become an AI-Augmented Forward Deployed Engineer
Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) is booming in the AI era, and the new “AI-Augmented FDE” role welcomes people without coding backgrounds by pairing human skills like empathy and problem-solving with AI as a build partner. A 90-minute hands-on workshop lets participants step into this role, tackling a real customer problem, building a prototype with AI tools, and refining it through live feedback. Attendees leave with the AI-Augmented FDE mindset and a clear path into this in-demand career.
