Population
  The 9 Cloudflare rows with in_page_stats = true among the 704 postings
  from 114 employers in fde-postings-2026-11-03.json. All 9 come from
  Cloudflare's public Greenhouse board, pulled November 3, 2026. All 9 are
  engineer-family titles (0 strategist, 0 management): 1 Forward Deployed
  Engineer (FDE) Hybrid US multi-city; 2 Forward Deployed Engineer,
  Professional Services (Distributed Munich and London); 5 Senior Forward
  Deployed Engineer (Hybrid Austin, Sydney, Sweden, San Francisco, and
  London closed on the live check); 1 Senior Forward Deployed Infrastructure
  Engineer (Hybrid San Francisco; listing also names Austin). Cloudflare
  ties Chalk, Saronic and Snowflake at 9 postings (12th by posting count;
  11 employers have more: Databricks 115, Palantir 105, Salesforce 51,
  Accenture 39, OpenAI 33, LangChain 16, Cognition 15, Cohere 13,
  ElevenLabs 12, Cursor 11, Scale AI 11).

Method
  Built by scripts/build-cloudflare-aggregate.py from
  fde-postings-2026-11-03.json and scripts/cloudflare-evidence-2026-11-05.json
  (hand-verified quotes and the November 5, 2026 America/Los_Angeles live
  check against boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/cloudflare/jobs?content=true).
  Track: title text. Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) (1); Forward Deployed
  Engineer, Professional Services (2); Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (5);
  Senior Forward Deployed Infrastructure Engineer (1). Buckets sum to 9.
  Travel: 4 of 9 rows set travel_mentioned; travel_pct_stated is null on all
  nine. Do not invent a travel percentage from benefits language.
  Pay: 4 of 9 snapshot rows list a numeric range (USD on FDE NYC/NJ and Bay
  Area Senior/Infrastructure; EUR on Munich PS including Sales Compensation
  Plan on-target incentive). Sweden Senior posts SEK on the November 5 live
  board while snapshot pay fields were null. Never OTE except when quoting
  that Germany plan note; no currency conversion.
  Remote: aeo/fde-tracker/locations.py is_remote (board marks posting remote
  (Greenhouse flags excluded) or a listed location contains Remote;
  Coinbase Remote Zone excluded). is_remote is true on 0 of 9 rows against
  176 of 704 (25.0%) snapshot-wide. Greenhouse labels seven seats Hybrid
  and two Distributed (Munich and London Professional Services); none are
  labeled Remote under this method. Sweden's live office string is Remote
  Sweden; the Greenhouse location label remains Hybrid and under is_remote
  the row still counts as not remote. Munich Professional Services
  (8043305) live text states Available Location Germany and London
  Professional Services (8043339) live text states Available Location UK;
  neither defines Distributed.
  Live check (November 5, 2026, America/Los_Angeles): 8 of 9 snapshot
  Cloudflare in-page rows were still listed. Closed: Senior Forward Deployed
  Engineer London (8184169). No new FDE-family posting had opened since
  November 3. Evidence links point to boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/<id>
  for live seats (HTTP 200 after Greenhouse redirect on November 5). Do not
  link 8184169 as a current listing.
  Snapshot comparison: 176 of 704 in-page postings are remote by the same
  is_remote method (25.0%).

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