Forward Deployed Engineer

Archera empowers organizations of all sizes to optimize their cloud costs through unique, short-term, insured commitments. Hundreds of customers rely on Archera's innovative FinTech solutions to increase their cloud ROI while accelerating revenue objectives and service agility.

Archera's unique cloud rate insurance products and free FinOps platform enable teams to accurately predict and plan infrastructure growth, maximize commitment-based savings, and hedge against market demands and evolving cloud service provider offerings. Archera works closely with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, along with a broad partner ecosystem, to help customers execute financially prudent cloud strategies.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you sit where Archera's platform meets the field. This is an engineering role: you will write code, build integrations against partner and hyperscaler APIs, and own what you ship. You will also be the most technical person in the room with a distributor's engineering team, an AWS or Microsoft field counterpart, or a customer's Director of Cloud — explaining what Archera does at a deeper technical level, how other customers have successfully used Archera, and why the numbers hold. Both halves are the job.

You will report to the Senior Director of Field Engineering & GTM Enablement and work across the full deal cycle: technical discovery and commitment modeling on an enterprise pursuit one week, integration delivery or a production escalation the next. You will partner closely with Technical Account Management, Partner Development, Alliances, Marketing, Product, and Engineering. Commitment purchases and exchanges stay with Platform Operations — you set and validate the strategy. Long-term hardening and the roadmap stay with Product and Engineering — you incubate, they productize. This role is remote within the United States, with light travel.

Act as the technical owner on your engagements, from scoping a loosely defined problem through to something running in production.
