Job summary

Archera seeks a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our field-facing technical team, writing code, building integrations with partner and hyperscaler APIs, and owning what you ship. This remote US role collaborates with Technical Account Management, Partner Development, Alliances, Marketing, Product, and Engineering across the full deal cycle, from technical discovery to production escalation.

Light travel included.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in hands-on technical roles that include significant customer- or partner-facing work.
• Deep hands-on Azure experience, including its commitment and discount constructs (reservations, savings plans, exchange mechanics) and the billing mechanics underneath them: cost exports, FOCUS schema, effective cost, and custom price sheets.
• Working fluency with modern developer tooling — APIs, Git, scripting, IaC, and CI/CD — including daily use of AI coding assistants such as Claude Code.
• Demonstrated ability to debug integration failures alongside a third party's engineering team and drive the fix to closure.
• The discipline to pressure-test your own numbers against source data before they reach a customer. A wrong savings figure in front of a CFO costs more than a slow one.
• Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification (AZ-305) or equivalent architecture depth.

Responsibilities

• Act as the technical owner on engagements, from scoping a loosely defined problem through to something running in production.
• Build integrations and prototypes against partner and hyperscaler APIs — time-boxed MVPs, microapps, and proofs of concept that prove an idea in front of a partner or customer, then hand validated work to Product and Engineering.
• Model and defend commitment strategy against live cloud usage — reservations, savings plans, Guaranteed Commitment (GRI) economics, exchange strategy, and fleet modernization — grounded in platform data you verified yourself and presented to Director- and VP-level stakeholders.
• Take on the hardest technical problems that reach the field: complex onboarding, permissions and RBAC, billing-data integrity, and production escalations. That includes debugging live integrations directly with partner and hyperscaler engineering teams and driving fixes to closure.
• Serve as the technical overlay on large enterprise and partner pursuits, owning the technical conversation alongside Sales, Partner Development, and Alliances — including hyperscaler co-sell motions such as Azure IP Co-Sell and MACC positioning. You will influence revenue without carrying a quota.
• Close the loop with Product and Engineering: reproduce issues, isolate root cause, file and manage tickets, and distill market feedback into evidence-backed patterns and prioritized feature requests.
• Own technical documentation — analyze it for gaps, verify it against actual platform behavior, and give GTM Enablement and Marketing the source material for partner and seller training and certification.
