Desirable

• Forter is looking for a Staff Growth Software Engineer to lead the technical strategy and architecture of our merchant Onboarding Experience platform
• Your mission is to slash integration time from months to weeks (or less), cut internal hand-offs, and unlock faster time-to-revenue
• Operating as Forter’s most senior engineer in North America, you’ll bridge Go-to-Market teams with global R&D, hunting for friction, proposing bold initiatives, and driving them end to end
• You'll spot, scope, and lead high-impact onboarding initiatives: SDKs, schema-aware mapping automation, enhancements to our Integration Center, and self-serve validation pipelines
• Architect and evolve a multi-tenant onboarding platform that copes with Forter’s vertical-specific schemas while remaining simple for merchants’ developers
• Partner cross-functionally with Implementation Engineering, Customer Success, Support, Analytics, and Sales to translate real-world pain points into reusable platform capabilities—never one-off projects
• Mentor and multiply: guide North America-based engineers via design reviews, ADRs, and architecture sessions; represent the Onboarding Experience team in company-wide forums
• Drive the technical vision and long-term roadmap, ensuring the platform directly supports Forter’s strategic goals—accelerating revenue growth, reducing time-to-revenue, and simplifying revenue diversification
• Champion developer experience: clear docs, open-source examples, automated tests, friction-free releases, so our platform becomes a strategic differentiator
