# Senior forward deployed engineers for US teams | Miyagami > Hire senior forward deployed engineers for US teams, full-time from €5,760 a month and assessed with AI tools off and on. Shortlist in 3 working days. Source: https://www.miyagami.com/hire/forward-deployed-engineers [Home](https://www.miyagami.com/)/ [Hire engineers](https://www.miyagami.com/hire)/ Forward deployed engineers # Hire senior forward deployed engineers Senior forward deployed engineers work inside your team and close to your users, turning requests into working software within days. Each one passes both assessments, with extra weight on communication, English level and writing a clear spec from an unclear request. [Get a shortlist](https://www.miyagami.com/shortlist?role=forward-deployed-engineers) What we test for How AI changed this role 01 ### Building got fast, deciding what to build didn't AI tools cut the time to a first version from weeks to days. The slower part is now finding out what users need, and that happens in conversations engineers used to miss. 02 ### The engineer joins the customer call A forward deployed engineer hears the problem first-hand, so nothing gets lost between a product manager's notes and a ticket. They can show a working version in the next meeting and change it based on what people say. 03 ### Any senior engineer, with a different focus The technical bar is the same as for our other roles: full-stack ability, AI tools used well and code you can maintain. What changes is how much of the week goes to your team and your users instead of the backlog. What we test for ## How we assess forward deployed engineers Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For forward deployed engineers, these criteria carry the most weight. Communication : Much of the role is conversation, so we check that they listen before proposing and can explain a trade-off clearly to someone without a technical background. English level : They talk to your team and your customers directly, so they have to argue a point in English and hold it under a follow-up question. Spec-driven development : We test whether they write down assumptions, constraints and edge cases before building, which is how an unclear request becomes the right feature.

A senior local hire in the Netherlands costs about €9,000 a month all-in, based on a senior software engineer median salary, statutory employer contributions and an amortised recruitment fee. Through us you pay a fixed monthly fee with employment and compliance included, and the pricing calculator shows the two side by side. How long does it take to hire a forward deployed engineer? You get a shortlist within three working days and can hire within five. A local senior hire in the Netherlands typically takes 4 months. What do you test a forward deployed engineer on? Every forward deployed engineer completes both assessments, with extra weight on communication and English level. We also look at how they turn an unclear request into a written spec, and whether they can explain a technical trade-off to someone without a technical background.
