About the team:
Engineers on this team are holistic problem solvers comfortable working across the entire stack. We build beautiful interfaces that focus on customer delight and take pride in crafting reliable services responsible for million-dollar commission runs. We are excited about taking complex problems with a web of constraints/dependencies to deliver simple, elegant solutions. We are learners and listeners who code with customer empathy in mind.
Forma.ai is revolutionizing the Sales Performance Management space with our own platform that transforms your sales compensation process from end to end to design, optimize and manage sales incentive programs. The Engineering team is responsible for building a scalable, extensible, and resilient product that realizes that vision.
What you'll be doing:
Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack will play an influential role in product development. Supported by our Product and Design teams, you will construct new products and maintain existing features. We value rapid prototyping and imaginative solution design. You will dive deep to understand our problem space (sales compensation) and use that to inform your decisions around technical requirements and architecture.
We are building out new product modules at a rapid pace. You will be responsible for solution design, technical architecture, estimation, iterative development, testing, observability, and code review. Rapid peer review and thoughtful automated testing will be big parts of your day to day. Be prepared to continuously grow and improve both personally and professionally in our hypergrowth culture.

- Extensive knowledge of web backends, preferably with Python/Django
- Solid experience building many resilient, extensible, observable solutions in a highly collaborative engineering environment
- Strong communicator able to represent the team in front of product, operations, and executive stakeholders
