What is the FDE Masters forward deployed engineer internship?
The FDE Masters forward deployed engineer internship places students and recent graduates on live products built by Brolly Software Solutions Pvt Ltd in Hyderabad. Instead of a toy project, you fix real tickets, add real features and talk to real users, which is the core of what a forward deployed engineer (FDE) does.
Brolly Software Solutions, founded in 2013 near JNTU Metro, runs more than a dozen web and mobile products with paying and active users across education, finance, HR and voice automation. Those products are the internship lab. Your mentor is Lokesh, who led the teams that built them.
The internship is designed to sit alongside or after the FDE Career Program. Program learners get priority, and strong interns are considered for full-time roles at Brolly Software Solutions or referred through our employer council. Duration, stipend and intake size are listed below as placeholders until confirmed.

From intern to forward deployed engineer
The internship exists because employers hiring FDEs ask one question first: what have you deployed for real users? Bloomberry's analysis of 1,000 FDE postings found only 12 percent open to 0 to 2 years of experience, which is why a live-product internship matters more than another certificate for freshers.
Interns who complete the FDE Career Program and the internship leave with four graded Deccan Finance projects, a live 2-week practicum, a production feature on a real product and a written evaluation from a product lead. That is the portfolio we put in front of the employer council.
Strong interns are considered for openings at Brolly Software Solutions itself, and all interns get interview preparation through FDE Masters. For a wider view of internships across India, read our guide to forward deployed engineer internships in India.
