Job description

We are looking for experienced backend engineers to join the team responsible for the core systems that power Front - a rules engine service that evaluates thousands of rules in milliseconds, a real-time inbox counter service that is fast and precise, and more. 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.

We are able to hire remotely in France, the UK, Ireland, and Poland.

What will you be doing?

  • Own key features or sub-systems of Front
  • 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” 
  • 5+ years of industry experience working on backend systems at a large-scale internet service
  • 2+ years of 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, and 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

  • Experience working with a multi-data center setup
  • Extensive experience in node.js, MySQL and memcached on AWS
  • Front provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age or disability.
