Front streamlines customer communication by combining the efficiency of a help desk and the familiarity of email, with automated workflows and real-time collaboration behind the scenes. With Front, teams can centralize messages across channels, route them to the right person, and unlock visibility and insights across all of their customer operations. 

More than 8,000 businesses across many different industries (manufacturing, logistics, travel, financial services, tech, etc.) use Front to drive operational efficiency that prevents churn, improves retention, and propels customer growth. Backed by Sequoia Capital and Salesforce Ventures, Front has raised $204M from leading venture capital firms and independent investors including top executives at Atlassian, Okta, Qualtrics, Zoom, and PagerDuty.

We are looking for an experienced backend engineer to join the team responsible for the core systems that power Front - the pipe that connects Front to the external world - which process millions of events delivering emails, tweets, and other messages to and from Front with accuracy and in time. As you can imagine, this means a lot of responsibility and a tremendous amount of impact. The systems that you will work on need to be performant, scalable and reliable, all at once.

What will you be doing?

    • Own key services that power Front and lead architectural evolutions to build for reliability and scale.
    • Collaborate with other systems and infrastructure teams to build the next-generation architecture.
    • Collaborate closely with product managers, product designers and other engineers to conceptualize, build, and test new product features.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve bugs and issues across the stack, e.g. a stuck job in a message queue, a bug in our recipient suggestions service.

What skills and experience do you need?

    • Product mindset, we’re a product company on a mission to "advance how people work”
    • Industry experience working on backend systems at a large-scale Internet service
    • Experience working on software systems built atop Amazon Web Services
    • Fluency in a dynamic language like Javascript, Python, Ruby, or similar
    • Strong track record of launching and delivering projects of significant complexity and high level of ambiguity
    • Experience architecting, deploying and operating asynchronous work queues, high-volume storage systems, or high-throughput systems
    • Understand the trade-offs in employing different engineering solutions to a problem, valuing pragmatism over idealism
    • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, collaborative, and high-growth environment
    • Full professional English proficiency

Bonus:

    • Deep knowledge of the email stack and assorted RFCs
    • Experience with anti-spam infrastructure to prevent bad actors from exploiting an email service
    • Built deep integrations with an email delivery service like SendGrid, MailGun, Mandrill or SparkPost
    • Experience with Gmail or Office 365 APIs
    • Experience with Kafka
