Job Description

Arcesium is a global financial technology firm that solves complex data-driven challenges faced by some of the world’s most sophisticated financial institutions. We constantly innovate our platform and capabilities to meet tomorrow’s challenges, anticipate the risks our clients encounter, and design advanced solutions to help our clients achieve transformational business outcomes.

Financial technology is a high-growth industry as change and innovation continue to disrupt the status-quo and prompt major transformation. Arcesium is at a particularly interesting time in our own growth as we look to leverage our successfully established market position and expand operations in pursuit of strategic new business opportunities. We value intellectual curiosity, proactive ownership, and collaboration with colleagues, and we empower you to meaningfully contribute from day one and accelerate your professional development.

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. 
• Collaborate with platform and product engineers on architecture, patterns, and reusable capabilities informed by client work. 
• Rapidly prototype and deliver proof-of-concepts that demonstrate value and inform longer-term solutions. 
• Contribute feedback and real-world use cases to product teams to influence roadmap and platform evolution. 
• Operate across environments: your solutions may run in Arcesium’s platform, client environments, or someone’s laptop. 

Qualifications

• 5+ years delivering data-centric technical solutions to enterprise-scale customers is preferred, but what we’re really looking for is someone with the drive to solve real problems on time, drive innovation, and make yourself and the people around you better every day. You will need to take ownership through ambiguity and connect technical work to business outcomes. If that sounds like you, come show us what you can do – we would love to have you. 
• Experience across software engineering, solution delivery, and client collaboration. 
• Strong programming skills. We use Java, Python, TypeScript, and SQL. 
• Ability to balance speed and quality, building both rapid solutions and durable systems. 
• Experience with cloud platforms and the modern data stack is a plus. 
• Familiarity with financial services, investment lifecycle, or asset management is a plus. 
• Experience using AI in enterprise products and systems, both internal and client-facing, is a plus. 

The expected annual base salary for this position is $200,000 - $240,000 Base. Our compensation package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, and 401k contribution matching.

The applicable annual base salary paid to a successful applicant will be determined based on multiple factors including without limitation the nature and extent of prior experience and educational background. #LI-JS1 #LI-Hybrid
