NEED MORE THAN AN AI DEVELOPER?
Hire a Forward Deployed Engineer
Some AI projects fail not because of technology, but because nobody on the vendor side truly understands your business. That is why Beyond Key offers Forward Deployed Engineers. FDEs are senior AI engineers who embed directly with your teams, learn your workflows, and build solutions inside your environment, alongside your people.
What’s the role of an FDE?
- Work inside your business, not from a ticket queue
- Translating real operational problems into working AI solutions
- Build, deploy, and iterate on-site or in your virtual workspace
- Cover the full Microsoft stack: Copilot, SharePoint, Power Platform, Teams, and Azure AI
- Transfer knowledge to your internal teams as they build
When to choose an FDE over a standard AI developer
- Your requirements are still taking shape, and you need discovery plus delivery
- The problem spans multiple departments and systems
- You want AI adoption, not just AI deployment
- Speed matters and you cannot afford handoff delays between analysts and engineers
