Emerging AI Roles in India: Forward Deployed Engineers and Embedded Evaluators Gain Demand
As AI adoption grows, a new engineering role called Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is emerging in India to bridge the gap between AI model development and real-world deployment. FDEs combine coding skills with business understanding to implement AI solutions effectively within enterprises. Companies like Anthropic and OpenAI also propose 'embedded evaluators' to ensure AI safety. Despite India's large software workforce, demand for FDEs outpaces supply, leading to high salaries and new career opportunities focused on practical AI application and safety.
