Role

Who you are

  • Product minded: committed to building the best user experience
  • Business minded: understands the power of leveraging technology toward business outcomes
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, collaborative, and high-growth environment

What the job involves

  • We are seeking an experienced Full Stack engineer to strengthen our Bots team
  • The team has a broad scope, working predominantly on Front's customer support tooling, which includes Front's chat systems, knowledge base platform, and chatbot automations and integrations
  • The team is also responsible for Front's contact management system, which is vital to Front's omnichannel capabilities
  • Front's customer support tooling is relatively new: both Front's Knowledge Base and Chatbots were launched last year, so this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact by building on our strong foundation to enable a wide variety of interactions and integrations with these new systems as we enable more use cases for more customers
  • Work closely with product managers, product designers and other engineers to improve Front’s chat, chatbots, contact management, knowledge base, and related offerings
  • You will conceptualize, design, implement, test, and launch improvements and integrations that extend the chat and chatbots capabilities and use cases
  • You will be developing in a JavaScript environment, with special emphasis on TypeScript, Node.js, and React

Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

When a business receives an email from a customer it can set off a chain of forwarded emails across the company, an inefficient process where information (and sales!) can easily get lost. Front exists to change this, consolidating all customer communications into a single shared inbox which can be accessed by teams of any size and completely eliminates the need for internal emails.

With more companies moving to remote working and eCommerce becoming the predominant form of conducting business, Front's product has been enthusiastically received by over 8,000 companies, including Mailchimp, Shopitfy and Convoy. However it is by no means alone in this space, with huge competitors such as Google and Microsoft providing communications solutions and other internal communications tools such as Slack gaining traction. Front may have an edge here though: its unified solution also provides automated workflows, ticketing and analytical tools that are either absent or less well integrated in competing offerings.

In 2022, Front raised investments in a Series D round and achieved unicorn status with a valuation of over $1 billion. It is moving to futher develop its product and increase its market share, hiring on new talent ahead of a possible IPO in the near future. Definitely watch this space!
