Role
Who you are
- BS/BA in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a relevant technical field (or equivalent practical experience)
- At least 5 years of experience as a Data Engineer, or in a role with deep ETL expertise
- Experience managing a Snowflake data warehouse
- Strong programming fundamentals, with an ability to write modular, maintainable code
- Advanced SQL and Python skills and strong comfort working with large datasets
- Working knowledge of at least one big data technology (HDFS, EMR, Redshift, Spark, Flink, or Presto)
- Experience with workflow management tools (preferably Airflow)
- A proactive, service-oriented mindset with a “can-do” approach and positive attitude
- Strong ability to manage multiple projects/tasks across multiple stakeholders
What the job involves
- Front’s Data team builds the analytics infrastructure that powers decision-making across the company — from product insights to GTM performance
- We’re looking for a Staff Data Engineer to own critical parts of that platform end-to-end: designing scalable pipelines and data models, raising the bar on reliability and data quality, and enabling self-serve data access for teams across Front
- This is a high-impact role for someone who loves turning complex, messy inputs into trusted datasets, and who can partner closely with analysts, data scientists, and product stakeholders to deliver data systems that are fast, secure, and built to last
- You’ll thrive here if you’re hands-on, pragmatic, and excited to set technical direction while still shipping
- Architect data pipelines that provide fast, optimized, and robust end-to-end solutions for internal users of the analytics infrastructure
- Automate manual processes and create a platform in favor of self-service data consumption
- Own the quality of our analytics data and ensure the Data Team’s SLAs are met on a timely basis
- Design data schemas and fine-tune queries around large, complex data sets
- Interface with data scientists, analysts, and non-data stakeholders to understand their needs and promote best data practices
- Keep our data available and secure across multiple data centers and regions
- Implement a robust monitoring & logging framework that guarantees traceability and audibility
- Vet tools and technologies for the most viable solution for each problem at hand, and manage tools and data vendors involved
- Bring strong AI fluency to how you build and operate — using AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate development, improve quality, and unlock new approaches to data reliability and automation
Our take
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, Shopify 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. Now with $100 million in annual recurring revenue, it's moving to further develop its product and increase its market share, hiring new talent ahead of a possible IPO in the near future. Definitely watch this space!
