About FDE Interview Prep

What you get here

FDE Interview Prep helps you prepare for the forward deployed engineer interview, round by round. You practice, you read, and you see where you stand.

• Practice

  A timed case with an AI customer

  The customer holds facts back until you ask the right questions. Your score quotes what you said.

• Questions

  180 interview questions

  Each one comes with a framework for answering it, and many with a model answer.

• Lessons

  A curriculum, round by round

  106 lessons are written so far. The curriculum shows what each module covers.

Who it is for

Engineers preparing for forward deployed engineer interviews, in both kinds of role.

• AI labs and AI product companies

  Companies that build AI models, or products on them, where the engineer brings them into a customer’s work.

• Enterprise software and data companies

  Companies whose platforms customers run on, where the engineer makes them work inside a customer’s systems.

Setup asks which kind of role you want, and what you see first leans toward it. If you are not sure yet, both stay open.

How we source what we say

Every fact on this site about the job market, an employer or an interview cites a claim in our research. Each claim holds a quote copied from its source, and two verifiers check it, each on their own. A claim says only what its kind of source can support: one candidate’s post is one person’s account, never a company’s policy.

2,146 claims have passed those checks so far. We publish no pass rates, round weights or typical timelines, because no employer publishes them. Read how we source what we say.
