About the role:

The DevEx team’s mission is to enable Forter’s engineering teams to develop services in the most efficient manner, because we believe that their experience is about performance, innovation, scale readiness resulting in software quality, time to market, and productivity.

How do you create a great developer experience and provide tools that help create an impact in the engineering organization? How can we pave the path to effectively develop and maintain an environment and tools that empower developers so that they’re able to implicitly take care of all engineering important aspects (e.g. providing a meaningful and extendable boilerplate)? How do we provide insights to engineers about their systems? These are the kinds of questions and challenges we tackle on a daily basis, because we believe that developer experience matters, and we are constantly looking to find better ways of doing things at Forter.

If you’re wondering what this mission looks like in more concrete, daily form, here are some examples:

• Scale and maintain the infrastructure of a monorepo with hundreds of users and X-Million lines of code
• Discover the best information to surface to engineers in a developer portal, and how do we generate useful insights from all the metrics that we have?
• Utilize, measure and improve developer experience such as DORA metrics
• Make developers life better when they adopt ephemeral environments (local/remote/hybrid)
  
  

What you'll be doing:

• Design, build and maintain the core developer tools used by all of Forter’s engineering teams
• Plan and conduct rollout of technical projects internal to the platform group and across teams/groups
• Lead hands-on, complex development efforts while working closely with teammates and other individual contributors at Forter
• Work with a variety of programming languages and platforms
• Brainstorm features with technical product managers and your peers and guide decisions based on your knowledge of the codebase and past experience
• Mentor other engineers to support their growth and development
  
  

What you'll need:

• Experience writing and maintaining backend systems using modern programming languages (i.e. Python, Go, Java.)
• Experience with technical leadership role
• Experience working or building CI systems deployed across multiple, geographically distributed regions
• Hands-on experience managing and scaling developer tools
• Extensive experience working with public clouds (i.e. AWS, GCP, Azure)
