Senior Full Stack Engineer

• About the Role

Forter seeks a highly skilled, motivated Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join the Customer Experience Offerings (CXO) team. This team delivers and scales Forter’s core offerings and agentic experiences, creating smart automation for customers to confidently understand, configure, and optimize their journey.

Part of the Customer Experience group, this high-impact, hands-on role involves working across the full application stack—frontend (React, Next.js), backend (Node.js, TypeScript), data pipelines, and platform development. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in full-stack development, large-scale data stores, event-driven pipelines, data models, and high-throughput infrastructure. You will design and implement robust, end-to-end solutions for the customer portal and internal tools, and play a central role in shaping AI-driven capabilities as we invest heavily in Agentic AI.

If you enjoy owning complex problems end to end, improving systems at scale, and building experiences that bring real value to customers, we would love to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive the end-to-end technical strategy and development for Forter's core offerings and the intelligent, agentic experiences that empower customers to configure and continuously optimize their journey.
• Define and implement the authoritative technical standards for user configuration and data interaction/visualization, ensuring high performance and reusability across the platform.
• Lead the development of next-generation Agentic AI capabilities. Define how LLMs integrate into our platform, build AI-powered workflows, and establish strong engineering patterns for safe and reliable adoption.
• Own and evolve the data foundations behind the portal. Optimize pipelines, improve data quality and freshness, and design resilient data-access patterns to ensure customers can confidently understand and analyze the impact of their choices.
• Own end-to-end delivery of high-impact initiatives, focusing on unifying the user journey by bridging the gap between configuration and results analysis. Contribute hands-on across the full stack when needed, maintain execution momentum, and drive projects from concept to production.
• Work closely with product, design, customer-facing teams, and partner engineering groups. Turn ambiguous problems into clear execution plans and ensure alignment with customer and business goals.

Who are you?

• 5+ years of experience as a software engineer with deep expertise in full-stack development, including strong command of modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js) and backend technologies (Node.js, TypeScript).
• Experience building customer-facing products and working closely with product managers and customer-facing stakeholders.
• Strong familiarity with cloud-native environments. AWS experience is a significant advantage.
• Hands-on experience with distributed systems, data-intensive architectures, and event-driven pipelines. You are comfortable working with stores like Redis, Kafka, SQS, Elasticsearch, MySQL, and Snowflake, and you know how to design efficient data-access layers, optimize schema and query performance, and build reliable ingestion and transformation pipelines.
• Demonstrated impact in senior engineering roles. You have led complex technical initiatives, influenced product decisions, and helped drive architecture across teams.
• Deep systems thinking with the ability to design and scale robust, performant, and maintainable services.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills. You can discuss architecture with engineers, roadmap with product managers, and explain tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience using modern AI development tools such as Claude, GitHub CoPilot or similar to accelerate development and improve quality.
• Proven ability to self-manage, work autonomously, and drive projects forward without heavy oversight.

It’d be really cool if you also have:

• Experience building products or workflows powered by LLMs or Agentic AI
• Experience with micro-frontends or multi-app ecosystem architectures
• Deep experience with designing or maintaining high-scale data pipelines, including streaming, batching, or real-time enrichment workflows
• Experience leading workshops, sharing knowledge internally, or driving community practices
