Senior Engineering Manager, Decision Engineering

The engine is committed to maintaining a strict latency SLA (p99
The team lives in a highly technical backend domain, where the roadmap is composed of product-led and engineering-led initiatives in roughly equal parts.
Along with the engine itself, the team owns the API entry point into Forter, and the development process that allows analysts to build the engine using a self-service approach.
The team is extremely central in Forter's business day-to-day, and many of the challenges in the team arise from that centrality.

Given that the role requires active participation in the roadmap setting, you will need an investor "tool-set" that includes developing a solid and nuanced understanding of Forter's business value and the ability to zoom in/out on the details (including technical details) while always keeping an eye on ROI and risk. You'll need to be an innovator in spirit, that knows the power of a simple and well thought out piece of software to solve big business problems.

What you'll be doing:
Own one of our most business-critical areas. Oversee its development to ensure SLAs and long-term quality
Guide top-tier engineers (including Staff+) on how to plan and execute projects that carry a lot of technical risk (risk of ballooning investments) and precision/product risk (bad ROI)
Guide engineers on how to develop their business-value understanding, and how to channel their innovation towards the places that move the needle the most from a business perspective
Innovate around the engine's capabilities, APIs and the agentic interfaces that it offers our customers. Be opinionated around the engine's product-space
