FYI you might want to do this via [ask hn] to get a more appropriate response.

Regarding your question, there needs to be more context- specifically why do you need an fde that you can’t do via backend engineer. Palantir was special and it’s incorrect to use broad strokes to apply to every company

Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to post there. Guess I need to figure it out! A backend engineer might be OK if they had some solid customer-facing experience as well. I hear your point on Palantir, I just used it as an example because it's so commonly known. The big challenge here is finding people who A) have both skill sets and B) want this kind of role.
