I have spent 20 years in technical presales — from integration middleware to enterprise data platforms to where I am now, helping Fortune 50 companies figure out how to actually deploy AI in production.
that is pretty accurate. when FDE roles started popping up and i looked at the description, i was not sure how is it different that a typical implementation role. everyone needs some fancy words for showing future growth.
it is an interesting field to watch out. OpenAI has started this journey, lets see how this shape up.
FDE roles were already getting some flame this week. May be everyone now will change the name or shift to Harness engineering :)
