The Frontline: What Forward Deployed Engineers Actually Do
About this event
Forward deployed engineers (FDEs) sit at the customer's side, turning AI and software into something that actually works inside a real company. It is one of the fastest-growing roles in tech, and very few people in Tokyo know each other in it. This evening is a chance to change that. Who should come: working FDEs, solutions engineers and customer engineers; engineers and consultants curious about moving into the role; hiring managers and leaders building FDE teams. What we'll do: a quick live poll to get to know the room; a short talk from a guest speaker on a real deployment story; small table discussions; open networking, plus a 60-second intro from any company that is hiring. Format: relaxed bar evening at Sam's Bar Tokyo, Shibuya, about 30 people. Free to join - just order a drink at the counter (¥500+). Conversation is in English and Japanese. Part of Tokyo Connect, a community for international founders, builders and creatives in Tokyo. \-\-\- Forward Deployed Engineer(FDE)は、顧客の現場に入り込み、AIやソフトウェアを「実際に動くもの」にするエンジニアです。急成長している職種ですが、東京ではFDE同士がつながる場がまだほとんどありません。この夜が、そのきっかけになれば嬉しいです。 こんな方におすすめ: FDE、ソリューションエンジニア、カスタマーエンジニアとして働いている方。FDEへのキャリアチェンジに興味があるエンジニア・コンサルタントの方。FDEチームを作っている、または採用したいマネージャー・経営層の方。 形式: Sam's Bar Tokyo(渋谷)でのカジュアルな夜、約30名。 参加費は無料、カウンターでドリンクをご注文ください(500円〜)。日本語・英語どちらでも歓迎です。
