Anyone can claim the title.This is where it's proven.
Every AI company is hunting forward-deployed engineers, and every profile suddenly says FDE. Nobody can tell who's real. FDE Den is the private network of engineers who proved it. Entry is earned. After that, companies come to you: they request an intro, you choose. No public profiles, nothing to scrape.
We will review the GitHub signal and, if there is a fit, follow up within about a week. Nothing is listed publicly, and you can decline any intro.
How proof works
What countsShipped product, agent, data, or customer-facing work; public code; technical writing; references; or other evidence that shows real forward-deployed execution.
ReviewWe look for implementation signal, not title keywords. If the context is unclear, we may ask for one clarifying note before making a call.
ControlCompanies cannot browse the network. They see a narrow, relevant summary only after you opt in to a specific request.
Private betaAccess stays intentionally small while the review bar and intro process are being tuned. No public member names are used as proof.
Hire proven, not claimed.Every resume says FDE now.
Tell us what you need: voice, agents, context layers, document intelligence. Everyone here earned their place, so there is no database to browse. Your request goes to the engineers who match, and the ones who opt in get introduced. Proven and interested beats scraped and cold.
We will review the brief and aim to reply within a few business days if there is a credible match. Any intro happens only after an engineer opts in.
How intros work
Useful briefsShare the role, stack, scope, seniority, location or remote constraints, and what has to be true in the first 30 days.
ReviewWe check for a real fit before sharing a narrow brief with relevant engineers. They decide whether to opt in.
BoundariesNo searchable roster, no scraped profiles, and no borrowed logos or name-dropping. Terms are handled before an intro proceeds.
Private betaThe current goal is careful fit, not volume. Some good requests may wait until the right engineer opts in.
