What the job involves

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to work on the foundations of our React Native-based mobile app and make Front run great on Android and iOS
In this role, you will be the go-to specialist for everything React Native-related on the Client Platform team, and you will work with your Electron and web counterparts to improve the app’s performance and enable feature teams at Front to ship cross-platform
Build and maintain Front’s cross-platform client-side codebase

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!
