Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of dedicated data engineering, analytics engineering, or related experience building and debugging production data pipelines and data models at scale
- Strong SQL plus experience writing clean, testable code in Python (or a similar language used for data engineering)
- Experience building data models and pipelines on top of large datasets (hundreds of TB through petabyte scale), with attention to performance and cost
- Experience with modern data stacks and warehouses/lakes (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks) and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow) as well as modern SQL transformation practices (e.g., dbt)
- Ability to navigate ambiguity: translating vague, complex, or competing goals from executive stakeholders into clear, actionable, and robust data solutions
- Strong fundamentals in data quality, testing, and debugging, including the ability to trace issues across sources, transforms, and downstream dashboards
- Experience designing and implementing access control patterns at scale (RBAC, masking policies, row access policies, role hierarchies) in Snowflake or similar platforms
- Mentorship & engineering excellence: raising the technical bar, establishing team standards for dbt/SQL quality and CI/CD, and supporting others through reviews and pairing
- Strong collaboration and empathy: you listen, ask the right questions, and build solutions that balance stakeholder needs with platform integrity
- You champion data privacy and integrity, and act in the best interest of data consumers
What the job involves
- Build and maintain end-to-end pipelines that move and transform data from GTM + Marketing systems (e.g., CRM, marketing automation, web analytics, product usage, billing) into our warehouse for analytics and operational use
- Design and own trusted, well-documented data models for marketing + GTM concepts such as leads, contacts, accounts, opportunities, campaign touchpoints, attribution, pipeline influence, bookings, and churn
- Partner with Marketing Ops, Growth Marketing, RevOps, and Analytics to define metrics, align definitions, and ensure consistent reporting across teams and tools
- Improve data quality and observability by implementing monitoring, alerting, SLAs, automated tests, and incident response practices for critical marketing datasets
- Enable self-serve analytics by building curated datasets, a semantic layer, and safe access patterns that let stakeholders explore data with confidence
- Optimize performance and cost by tuning warehouse workloads, incremental processing patterns, and storage/compute strategies for large-scale datasets
- Contribute to platform improvements such as orchestration, CI/CD for data, access controls (RBAC), and PII handling to keep our data secure and compliant
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!
