Front is on a mission to enable better relationships at scale. Relationships are everything in business, but they’re hard to maintain as a business grows because traits like trust, compassion, and empathy are human qualities that have been difficult for technology to scale. We’ve reimagined the way businesses communicate by bringing customer conversations to the center of one’s focus. Today, nearly 8,000 businesses have discovered that they can still grow their business and keep the human touch.
With $204M in funding, Front is backed by Sequoia Capital and other leading venture capital firms, as well as independent investors including top executives of Atlassian, Okta, Qualtrics, Zoom, and PagerDuty. Front has received numerous Great Place to Work accolades, including Y Combinator's list of Top Companies in 2023, #4 on Fortune’s Best Workplaces in the Bay Area™, Inc. Magazine's 2022 Best Workplaces list, Forbes Best Startup Employers 2022 List, and Best workplaces for Millennials 2022 list.
Front is looking for a Technical Solutions Architect to join a world-class Solutions & Services organization. As a Technical Solutions Architect at Front, you’ll develop deep technical product expertise and play a critical role in defining, designing, and implementing creative technical solutions that expand the reach of Front’s platform to connect and interface with 3rd party applications and systems.
As a technical point of contact for the Go-To-Market organization, you will be responsible for solving high-priority and strategic problems for the business and our customers, often in collaboration with product, engineering, and design teams.
This role will require you to operate dynamically, shifting between customer-facing interactions to creative technical solutioning. On any given day, you could be strategizing with a relationship manager on feature adoption for top customers, presenting ROI to a room full of C-level executives, writing up a product spec for a professional service engagement, or partnering with product to influence the new features.
