About Forward Deployed News

Who publishes Forward Deployed News

Forward Deployed News reports on forward deployed engineering: which companies are building teams, product launches that change the work and moves across the industry.

A note on advice

Our articles explain how roles, programs and markets work and what the evidence shows. They are not a substitute for a qualified professional who knows your situation, whether the decision is about your career, a contract, a hire or money.

How we are funded

We take no payment for coverage and earn no referral fees. We have a business connection with Torchlane. Torchlane offers AI FDE training and also introduces employers to forward deployed engineering candidates.

None of our articles recommends Torchlane today. If one does, it will label it "Our top pick" and carry the note where the recommendation appears. A link to Torchlane from an article would go first to an address on this site that records the click (see the Privacy Policy). Torchlane also uses the same analytics account as this site; the Privacy Policy says what that means for you.

Every other program, company and option is described in its own published terms. We run no display ads.

Lines we do not cross

We do not invent authors, reviewers, testimonials, ratings, salaries or statistics. We do not promise anyone a job, a salary or any other outcome. And we do not take payment for coverage, or recommend a company we have a connection with without saying so where the recommendation appears.

Our sources

Each factual claim has a numbered footnote that links to its source. Claims we cannot source stay out.

• Pay and labor-market figures come from primary data, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, public filings and pay ranges published in job postings, and carry the date they describe.
• What a company, program or certification offers comes from its own published pages, such as documentation, course and exam pages and job postings.
• Research findings link to the paper or report itself.
