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 the application our customers use to configure, manage, and visualize their sales compensation plans. There are many complex and difficult areas on both the back end and in terms of UX, because of data volumes, wide configurability and complex business logic.  

We are low on meetings, high on accountability. Most of the team are in EST timezone but we have a few in PST and Central. We are far from maintenance / progressive evolution in many areas, there is a lot of room to make a big impact in the overall design. 

What you'll be doing: 

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the Staff Application Engineer will play an influential role in feature development. You'll lead development efforts for critical application features while being an example to the team of code quality and thoughtful software design. Whether you are stronger on the back end, front end or a true even mix you will be working on the most challenging code at Forma. 

What you can expect from us: 

  • Meaningful compensation. In addition to your base salary, you’ll join our employee stock ownership plan to further recognize your contributions to Forma.ai’s success 
  • Healthcare coverage. We have a full benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, and a paid parental leave program 
  • Learning and development. Access the resources you want to help you grow in your role by utilizing our $750 yearly training stipend 
  • Growth. You’ll have a huge opportunity to build a career for yourself and gain the type of experience you’re looking for – whether that’s as an individual contributor or as a people leader


What we're looking for: 

  • Experienced in software development
  • Strong experience in JavaScript development experience (TypeScript experience a plus).
  • Python development experience (Django experience a plus) or equivalent server-side language.
  • Be respectful with other people and have a high candour in how they work with others and in critiquing the product
  • A strong sense of customer empathy and an interest in being involved in the product direction 

Technologies we use: 

  • Frontend: JavaScript, React, TypeScript, SASS, Jest, Cypress
  • Backend: Python, Django, Postgres
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions  

Our values: 

  • Work well, together. We’re real. We have kids and pets. Mortgages and student loans. We’re in this together, so no matter how brilliant any one of us is, we always play nice with one another – no exceptions. 
  • Be precise. Be relentless. We believe complacency breeds failure, so we set new goals as quickly as we achieve them. We persist in the face of adversity, learn from our mistakes, and push each other to continuously improve. The status-quo is kryptonite.
  • Love our tech. Love our customers. Our platform solves a very complex problem in a currently underserved market. While everyone at Forma isn’t customer-facing, we’re all customer-focused. Maybe even slightly customer-obsessed. ­ 

Our commitment to you: 

At Forma.ai, we’re diverse by design. We’re committed to having a workforce that reflects the communities in which we live and work. We also aim to have a barrier-free recruitment and selection process. We’ll work with applicants requesting accommodation at any stage of the hiring process.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
