The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is a hands-on technologist and trusted innovation partner to People Experience (PX), Global Workspace Experience (GWE), Global Security (GS) and Office of CEO —embedded at the intersection of global business processes, transactional data and enterprise technology. Operating within Pfizer Digital & Technology’s Enabling Functions (EF) Forward Impact Engineering team, this role translates bold ideas into working AI and data-driven prototypes that accelerate the way we discover, develop, and deliver innovative solutions. FDEs work in small, mission-focused Pods aligned to specific EF domains such as Finance, GBS, PX and Legal/Compliance. Each Pod pairs an FDE with a Product Manager to co-own a domain’s innovation backlog—from idea intake through proof-of-concept delivery and transition to enterprise scale. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of engineering depth, creative problem solving, and business fluency. They are equally comfortable writing code, influencing senior leaders, and connecting across organizational boundaries. A FDE thinks like an AI architect, builds like a full-stack engineer, and operates like a strategic partner—driving measurable impact through technology that advances science.
