Population
  The 6 Anthropic rows with in_page_stats = true among the 704 postings
  from 114 employers in fde-postings-2026-11-03.json. All 6 come from
  Anthropic's public Greenhouse board, pulled November 3, 2026. 4 are
  engineer-family titles (London, Munich, Paris Forward Deployed Engineer;
  Staff Forward Deployed Engineer in NYC/SF/Seattle) and 2 are Manager,
  Forward Deployed Engineering titles (NYC and London). Anthropic ties
  Applied Intuition, C3 AI, Clay, DevRev and Invisible Technologies at 6
  postings (19th by posting count; 18 employers have more). One adjacent
  non-engineering title (GTM Strategy & Operations, FDE) is in the file
  with in_page_stats = false and is excluded from totals. Six postings is
  a small sample.

Method
  Built by scripts/build-anthropic-aggregate.py from
  fde-postings-2026-11-03.json and scripts/anthropic-evidence-2026-11-04.json
  (hand-verified quotes, pay-as-posted strings, languages, and the
  November 4, 2026 America/Los_Angeles live check against
  boards-api.greenhouse.io).
  Track: title text. Forward Deployed Engineer (3); Staff Forward Deployed
  Engineer (1); Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering (2). Buckets sum to 6.
  Travel: 5 of 6 state 25-50%; Staff states 25%. Manager wording is "Travel
  to customer sites as needed (25-50%)".
  Pay: the Annual Salary line as posted, in the posting's currency, with
  no conversion. Every text also carries sales-role OTE boilerplate; the
  FDE and manager ranges are labeled Annual Salary. Range strings are
  stored with "to" between the bounds. The Staff FDE USD midpoint
  ($300,000) is compared on the page to the US engineer-title median
  midpoint of $216,104 across 255 US engineer-title postings in the
  October 24, 2026 salary index; GBP and EUR ranges are left out of that
  comparison. Munich and Paris engineer seats list no range in the text.
  equity_mentioned is true in the snapshot, but the only equity wording
  in the texts is "optional equity donation matching", so the file makes
  no equity-grant claim.
  Remote: remote_listed is null on every Anthropic row, so no role is
  counted as remote. Every text says staff are expected in an office at
  least 25% of the time.
  Live check (November 4, 2026, America/Los_Angeles): all 7 snapshot
  Anthropic rows (6 in-page + 1 adjacent) were still live. Two Manager,
  Forward Deployed Engineering postings opened after the snapshot (Munich
  first published November 3, 2026 1:54 PM PT; Paris first published
  November 4, 2026 2:14 AM PT). Those two sit under live_check_2026_11_04
  and are not in totals. Paris Manager pay is posted as €235.000 to €295.000
  EUR (period as thousands separator); Munich Manager lists no range.

Caveats
  Counts are open postings on a public board on one day and do not
  measure headcount. Matching is by title only. Six postings is a small
  sample, too small for employer-level rates.
