Original job description

About Forma.ai:

Forma.ai is a Series B startup that's revolutionizing how sales compensation is designed, managed and optimized. We handle billions in annual managed commissions for market leaders like Edmentum, Stryker, and Autodesk.

Our growth has been fuelled by our passion for fundamentally changing and shaping how companies use sales intelligence to drive business strategy.

We’re welcoming equally driven individuals who are excited about creating something big!

About the Team

Engineers on this team build our rules-based calculation engine for processing sales commissions. This might sound simple if you have never been exposed to sales compensation plans, it is not.

We are low on meetings and high on accountability. Most of the team is in the EST time zone, with a few located in PST and Central as well. We are still evolving many areas of the platform, which means there is meaningful room to improve the design, reliability, and scalability of the systems we build.

What you’ll be doing

Reporting to the Manager of Data Platform, you will play an important role in the evolution of our Spark-based data platform. You’ll design and build data-rich platform capabilities, contribute to system design discussions, and help ensure our data systems remain reliable, maintainable, and scalable as Forma grows.

As a Senior Engineer, Data Platform, you are expected to operate with strong ownership and sound technical judgment. This includes identifying risks in the work you own, surfacing edge cases, asking thoughtful questions, and proposing improvements that strengthen the quality and reliability of the platform.

You will:

Design, build, and improve Spark-based data pipelines and platform services.
Work with complex data models representing sales compensation plans, hierarchies, relationships, and enterprise datasets.
Build reliable, deterministic data systems that customers and internal teams can trust.
Improve testing, observability, data quality, and production reliability across the systems you work on.
Partner with Product, Engineering, and Analytics to translate complex business requirements into scalable data designs.
Participate in design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, and knowledge sharing.
Use AI tooling to improve delivery speed while maintaining strong engineering standards.

What we’re looking for

Strong experience building data systems or backend systems in production.
Experience with Spark or similar data processing / ETL frameworks.
Proficiency in at least one production-grade language such as Python, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Go, C#, or similar.
Strong SQL, relational schema design, and data modeling skills.
Experience with large-scale, hierarchical, graph-like, relationship-heavy, or workflow-driven datasets.
Ability to reason through technical tradeoffs, identify risks, and propose practical improvements.
Experience improving scalability, reliability, observability, or maintainability in data-intensive systems.
Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across Engineering, Product, and Analytics.

Nice to have

Experience building SaaS products for mid-market or enterprise customers.
Experience with rule-driven systems, validation workflows, calculation engines, or approval/governance platforms.
Familiarity with AWS-based infrastructure and Kubernetes.
Familiarity with graph databases or graph-based modeling concepts.
Exposure to Sales Performance Management, RevOps, Incentive Compensation, or related domains.

Technologies we use

Frontend: JavaScript, React, TypeScript

Backend: Java/Spring Boot, Django, Postgres

Data Platform: Spark

Infrastructure: AWS, Docker

What success looks like: 30/60/90 daysFirst 30 days

You’ll focus on building context across Forma’s product domain, data platform, calculation engine, data models, and engineering practices.

Built a clear understanding of the product domain, Spark-based data flows, and key data models.
Learned the team’s practices around testing, observability, deployment, data quality, and reliability.
Built relationships with Engineering, Product, and Analytics partners.
Shipped small improvements or fixes to build familiarity with the system.

First 60 days

You’ll begin owning meaningful data platform work and contributing to technical decisions.

By the end of your first 60 days, you will have:

Taken ownership of a data pipeline, platform component, workflow, or feature area.
Designed and delivered maintainable data platform code aligned with team standards.
Partnered with Product, Engineering, and Analytics peers to translate requirements into scalable data designs.
Identified risks, edge cases, data quality issues, or inconsistencies in the systems you work on.
Contributed to improvements in data modeling, pipeline reliability, testing, observability, or service boundaries.

First 90 days

You’ll be operating as a trusted senior contributor within the team.

By the end of your first 90 days, you will have:

Designed and delivered a meaningful data platform initiative or major feature.
Improved important data models, Spark pipelines, platform services, or workflow handling.
Contributed to technical direction through clear, well-reasoned design decisions.
Improved the reliability, observability, scalability, or maintainability of data-intensive systems.
