Our take
Why Hebbia
One of the highest published non-founding FDE bands on the board — you're really being hired as the buy-side customer's embedded quant.
- FDE type
- True forward-deployed
- Travel
- Low
- Comp
- Top of market
- Stage
- Growth-stage
A good fit if you're…
- Engineers who want finance/legal domain depth and top comp
- People fine with strict 5-days-in-office in NYC or SF
- Those who want to ship production code they own, not slideware
What they do
Hebbia (a16z/Index-backed) builds AI for finance, legal and knowledge work, selling into the buy-side and law firms — customers who pay for precision and expect the tool to think like an analyst.
What “forward deployed” means here
Embed with Hebbia's most strategic customers to build the 'last mile' of the platform: custom integrations, workflow automations and domain-specific solutions, writing production code you ship and own. At this comp and customer profile, the job is closer to embedded quant than generic solutions engineer.
Comp & leveling
The board shows $180K–$300K (employer-provided), a range spanning several levels, with $300K among the highest published for a non-founding FDE seat. The tell is the strict 5-days-in-office rule in NYC or SF with no remote — you are being paid to be in the room.
Growth signals
Top-tier backing and a comp ceiling this high for a delivery role signal a company investing hard in strategic-account depth. In-office-only culture suggests a high-intensity, senior-leaning team.
