State of FDE 2026

The second edition of the State of Forward Deployed Engineering, and the first run as a practitioner survey: independent, vendor-neutral, and anonymous by design.
No name, no required contact details. Compensation questions are optional. If you want the results before they are published, you can leave your email on a separate form at the end; that form is not connected to your answers and cannot be.
Takes 8–10 minutes. Open to anyone doing customer-facing AI deployment work, whatever your title says.
