The role

Part engineer, part consultant, fully hands-on.

The title was made famous by Palantir. Today model providers, AI infrastructure companies and AI startups hire FDEs to make general-purpose AI work for a specific bank, hospital, retailer or government team.

01

Work with customers

Sit with the client's team, find the real problem and turn vague requirements into something you can build.

02

Ship AI to production

Build with LLMs, RAG and agents on the customer's own data, then deploy, monitor and debug it in the field.

03

Bridge both worlds

Explain technical trade-offs to business people, and bring what you learn back to your product team.

Curriculum

Ten modules, from the role to the offer letter.

Built from real FDE job descriptions. Read online, track your progress and finish with a final quiz.
