Perplexity
Member of Technical Staff (Forward Deployed Engineer, Applied AI)
Why it's interesting
Perplexity wraps its FDE role in a Member of Technical Staff title — lab branding for what is functionally an enterprise deployment seat, and its first in NYC.
The role
Embed with enterprise customers deploying Perplexity's search and answer APIs into internal knowledge workflows. The MTS framing suggests the role sits closer to product engineering than classic sales-adjacent FDE work. Sourced via the Plank FDE census (CC BY 4.0).
