Description

About the role:

Forter is looking for a Senior Software Engineer with broad experience and passion for building scalable and resilient systems. Reliability, latency and security, along with being present where our customers need us, are critical to our success. Every single request we receive and process is crucial to us and our customers. We can’t go down because our customers’ businesses depend on us. We process  e-commerce transactions worth over $250B a year, and make billions of critical decisions. 

We utilize highly sensitive information our customers trust us with, to catch fraudsters and abusers and let consumers operate without any friction. 

Our systems run on thousands of machines, on multiple regions and clouds, at massive scale, in order to provide the best service to the Enterprise customers we serve.

One of your goals as a Senior Software Engineer in the brain team is to ensure our core decision systems provide the most accurate decision with short time constraints. You’ll be mentoring and working closely with smart, talented and sharp software engineers, creating highly sophisticated, robust, fault tolerant and low latency distributed systems.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design, build and think over the core decision system at Forter. 
  • Self-managing projects planning, milestones, designs, and estimations.
  • Holding yourself and others to a high standard when working with production systems. We take pride in our tests, monitoring & alerting abilities just as we do with our systems. 
  • Debugging complex problems across the whole stack, dealing both with high-throughput systems and low-latency systems.
  • Working with colleagues from various disciplines - Research Engineers, Analysts, Quants and Data Scientists (all of whom write production code!)

What you'll need:

  • Strong Python / Java / Kotlin / NodeJS skills.
  • 5+ years of proven experience in designing and building large-scale production systems.
  • Experience with various databases or data stores such as Elasticsearch, Redis, MySQL, Couchbase, MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB, etc. 
  • Experience with AWS or other public clouds.
  • Experience with docker / Kubernetes or other container management platforms.

Would be very cool if you have:

  • Experience (or good familiarity) with technologies such as Storm/Flink and Spark, and concepts such as Event Sourcing, DLQ and Circuit Breakers.
  • Experience working with analysts / data scientists.
  • Built distributed systems at large scale.
  • Profiled and optimized code to the millisecond level.
  • Built visualization tools (web interface or CLI) to monitor your systems.

Things we appreciate:

  • A link to a blog post you wrote or an interesting talk you’ve given.
  • Open source projects you’ve created or contributed to.
  • Interesting, non-trivial problems you’ve dealt with.
  • Side projects that you couldn’t resist building.

About us:

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
