Software Engineer - Forward Deployed
About the role
Position Summary
Arcesium is seeking a Software Engineer to join our Forward Deployed (FD) team within Client and Partner Development. This role is distinct from traditional product engineering: our mission is time to value. Forward Deployed Engineers rapidly design and deliver solutions that directly address client business needs while building reusable foundations that make the next project faster and better.
This role prioritizes autonomy, execution, and impact. You won't be limited to incremental features on a fixed roadmap; you'll help define the problems, shape the solutions, and deliver outcomes that matter to both clients and the product. Your work will power client relationships, accelerate adoption of Arcesium's platform, and shape the evolution of our products. Forward Deployed Engineers sit in a uniquely leveraged position: seeing client problems first, solving them end-to-end, and turning those solutions into lasting capabilities for the platform.
What Makes This Role Unique
- Time-to-value is the mission. Solutions must be delivered quickly while building strategic infrastructure that accelerates future work.
- You work directly with clients. FD Engineers are part of the face of Arcesium and partner closely with client technology owners and business stakeholders.
- You close the loop with product. You will identify patterns across client needs and translate them into improvements, features, and platform direction.
- You build targeted, high-impact solutions. Expect many small, self-contained deliverables that directly solve business problems alongside foundational components that endure.
- Code lives at multiple horizons. Some solutions run for years in production; others exist briefly to unlock immediate value.
Responsibilities
- Own execution and delivery of client-facing technical solutions, integrations, and data workflows.
- Gather requirements, iterate on deliverables, and drive projects through completion with client technology owners, client executives, and Arcesium stakeholders.
- Design and build data pipelines, integrations, and targeted applications that address specific business needs.
- Collaboro
