Job description

We are looking for 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.

What will you be doing?

  • Build a search API easy to use that improves the speed and quality of our search experience.
  • Design, develop, test and implement new product features: frontapp.com/roadmap
  • Tune and optimize performance of the app running on our new container infrastructure
  • Speed-up the analytics pipeline

Preferred experience

  • Full professional English proficiency
  • Product mindset, we’re a product company on a mission to “advance how people work”
  • Strong track record of launching and delivering projects of significant complexity and high level of ambiguity
  • Fluency in a dynamic language like Javascript, Python, Ruby, or similar
  • Track record of designing and implementing complex and scalable software services
  • Experience architecting, deploying and operating asynchronous work queues, high-volume storage systems, and high-throughput systems
  • Experience with performance benchmarking and diagnostic tools
  • 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

Bonus

  • Experience with Elasticsearch
  • Experience working with a multi-data center setup
  • Extensive experience in node.js, MySQL and memcached on AWS
