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.
To excel in this position, you must demonstrate strong learning abilities, showcase proven software development skills, possess a mindset that aligns with being both a product and business-oriented engineer, have prior experience leading engineering teams, and work effectively within small, dynamic cross-functional settings.
What will you be doing?
- You will 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 capabilities of Front’s knowledge base, contacts, chat, and bots.
- You will coordinate on project scope, assess technical complexity and risk, coordinate dependencies with other teams, mentor more junior engineers, and maintain a high bar for technical excellence on the team.
- You will be developing in a JavaScript environment, with special emphasis on TypeScript, Node.js, and React.
What skills and experience do you need?
- Experience leading teams of senior software engineers delivering everything from product-focused features and enhancements to new products.
- Industry experience building fast, reliable, real-time web-based applications.
- Fluency in a dynamic language like Javascript, Python, Ruby, or similar.
- Knowledgeable about modern web technologies and excited to learn new ones, e.g. Node.js ES6, TypeScript, React.
- Exposure to architectural patterns of a large, high-scale web application.
- 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.
- Understand the trade-offs in employing different engineering solutions to a problem, valuing pragmatism over idealism.
Bonus:
- Experience with AWS technologies.
- Rigor in A/B testing, test coverage, and other web best practices.
- Experience working with complex data models at scale.
