The future of work is not science fiction. It’s happening right now — quietly, rapidly, beneath the surface of corporate boardrooms. And the job at the center of this revolution is one most executives have never even heard of:
Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs).
While some companies are still debating AI governance frameworks and writing 40-page PowerPoints, the real action — the real transformation — is happening on the ground. FDEs at Palantir, Cohere, Anthropic, OpenAI and dozens of hyper-growth startups are embedding with customers, building prototypes in days instead of quarters, and translating impossible workflows into scalable AI solutions.
And here’s the shockwave:
📈 170 million NEW jobs by 2030.
📉 92 million jobs disappearing.
= +78 million net new roles, many of them hybrid, human-centered, and deeply underestimated.
In this episode, Malcolm breaks down why FDEs have become the fastest-growing role in AI (800% YoY), how companies like John Deere, Tesla, Amazon and global banks are using them to unlock billions in operational value, and why this role fundamentally proves one thing:
Humans are not being replaced. Humans are being upgraded.
This episode goes beyond hype. It’s a grounded, data-driven look at AI adoption, the real tasks disappearing, the new skills emerging, and why the companies that refuse to invest in FDE-style talent will lose entire markets to competitors who move faster, learn faster, and deploy faster.
If you want to understand the real future of AI work — not the headlines, but the mechanics — this is the episode.
“AI isn’t replacing humans — it’s replacing humans who refuse to use AI.”
“FDEs don’t wait for permission. They deploy, iterate, and learn in real time.”
“170 million new jobs is not a warning. It’s a renaissance.”
“If your 7-year-old can build a dashboard in five minutes, what’s your executive team’s excuse?”
“The companies winning today aren’t the ones with the most strategy — they’re the ones with the most action.”
