About the role:

Forter is looking for a Software Engineer for the Data Experience team, which is part of the Customer Experience (CX) group.

As Forter is being recognized as the market leader and trust engine of ecommerce, our vision is to take our products to the next level by being a true platform.

The challenges that we tackle in the CX group revolve around our continuous desire for innovation and having the perfect product fit to market. We work closely with the Product team and UX, and through tight collaboration our goal is to continuously ship value to our customers.
More than other teams and groups, the engineering decisions made by Forter’s CX group and the teams within it need to balance not only engineering factors, but also user experience, aesthetics, legal and financial considerations, and a general sense for maximizing ROI.

• Be part of a great team and group of fullstacks, who are always hungry to learn
• You want to be an owner of a part of our system that gets a lot of attention - after all, our outcome is customer facing.
  
  

What you will be doing:

• Create beautiful products, E2E,  that bring the most value to our customers
• Develop and build products on AWS, using nodeJS / graphQL / lit / elasticsearch / mysql / postgres / snowflake
• Work closely with Product and UX stakeholders - we succeed through collaboration.
• Own the entire development process - plan, estimate, execute, communicate, test, monitor and enable others.
• Be part of the on-call rotation, making sure that our production system is always on-line.

Who are you?

• You’re a fullstack developer, and you love working on both client and server side.
• Experience throughout the web development stack such as Node.js, Storybook, Karma, React, VueJS, Lit, AngularJS, ES6 etc (>3 years)
• Has prior experience working closely with Product Managers and UX people.
• Professional proficiency in English

It’d be really cool if you also have:

• Experience with noSQL DBs such as ElasticSearch.
• Experience with microservices architecture in one of the major cloud vendors - AWS/GCP/Azure
