Where forward deployed engineers work
FDE is still a place-based craft. On this board today: 76% on-site, 4% hybrid, 20% remote.
Top location hubs (live)
- San Francisco 68
- London, United Kingdom 53
- Singapore 52
- Tokyo, Japan 44
- London 32
- New York, NY / New York, United States of America 32
- Washington, D.C. 32

These are the geo pages we index — real cities with enough open roles, not every messy ATS location string.

- US coasts + DC — AI labs, enterprise SaaS, and defense-adjacent delivery
- London / EU hubs — strong volume for hybrid enterprise deployments (Amsterdam, Munich, Stockholm, Paris show up often)
- APAC — Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney appear when global platforms staff regional FDEs
- Remote — exists, but usually still customer-timezone heavy; read the posting for travel %
