Forter is looking for a

• 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.

• 8+ years building production systems and developer-facing platforms, with 2+ years at Staff-level (or equivalent) owning architecture and cross-functional initiatives.
• A track record of shipping SDKs, APIs, or tooling that external engineers rely on and iterating via docs, samples, and community feedback.
• Hands-on depth with Node.js/Python and AWS-based architectures.
• Business-impact mindset : comfortable measuring success in time-to-integration and revenue acceleration.
• Stellar communication and influence skills ; you translate between technical, product, and commercial languages with ease.
• Self-directed, entrepreneurial approach : you find problems, align stakeholders, and drive to results without formal process.

• Experience tackling schema-on-read / data-model variation challenges.
• Background in partner, solutions, or developer advocacy engineering: creating code samples, or tooling at scale
• Experience working with eCommerce platforms and understanding merchant data flows
• Exposure to payments infrastructure, especially providers like Stripe, Adyen, Braintree, or Worldpay
