Hey, how's it going? The Frontline: What Forward Deployed Engineers Actually Do looks like it should be pretty interesting. Want me to help you organise around it?

Forward deployed engineers (FDEs) sit at the customer's side, turning AI and software into something that actually works inside a real company. It is one of the fastest-growing roles in tech, and very few people in Tokyo know each other in it. This evening is a chance to change that.

Who should come: working FDEs, solutions engineers and customer engineers; engineers and consultants curious about moving into the role; hiring managers and leaders building FDE teams.

What we'll do: a quick live poll to get to know the room; a short talk from a guest speaker on a real deployment story; small table discussions; open networking, plus a 60-second intro from any company that is hiring.

Format: relaxed bar evening at Sam's Bar Tokyo, Shibuya, about 30 people.

Free to join - just order a drink at the counter (¥500+).

Conversation is in English and Japanese.

Part of Tokyo Connect, a community for international founders, builders and creatives in Tokyo.
