The Core Product Experience (CPX) team owns and elevates the heart of the Front application — the inbox and adjacent surfaces where frontline users triage and route conversations, collaborate with teammates, and craft high-quality replies. CPX's mission is to ensure that frontline and admin users can work more efficiently, with higher quality, and a happier day-to-day experience. The team's scope is broad, spanning everything from core inbox functionality (inboxes, messages, composer) to newer surfaces like calendar and contacts, and the team partners closely with Client Platform, AI, and other pods across Engineering.

As Front continues to grow and invest in AI-powered experiences, CPX is at the center of the product strategy.

We’re looking for a frontend-focused Software Engineer with a deep product and design sensibility to join our CPX team. You’ll work on the surfaces that 95% of all Front interactions pass through — the inbox, messages, and composer — building features that thousands of companies rely on every day to communicate with their customers.

This isn’t just a “build to spec” role. We want someone who thinks critically about what to build and why, who sweats the details of how an interaction feels, and who partners closely with Product and Design to ship work that is both technically excellent and delightful to use.

• Own and deliver frontend features end-to-end. Take product specs and turn them into polished, performant features across Front's client-side codebase (Web, Desktop via Electron).

• Champion the user experience. Advocate for the end user in every decision — from architecture to pixel-level detail. Push for interfaces that are fast, intuitive, and beautiful.

• Partner deeply with Product and Design. Collaborate early and often with PMs and Designers to shape what gets built. Offer technical perspective on feasibility, tradeoffs, and creative solutions.

• Raise the bar on code quality. Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code. Contribute to frontend best practices, component libraries, and performance standards.

• Tackle complex UI challenges. Work on a real-time, multi-player application with rich text editing, keyboard-driven workflows, and high-performance demands.

• Grow with the team. Participate in code reviews, share knowledge, and contribute to a collaborative, low-ego engineering culture.

• 5+ years of professional experience building complex, production web applications with a focus on frontend engineering

• Strong proficiency in modern frontend technologies — React, Type Script, and state management patterns (e.g., Redux)

• A genuine product mindset — you care deeply about why something is being built, not just how. You ask questions, push back on specs when needed, and think about the user first.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — you can articulate tradeoffs clearly and work effectively with cross-functional partners

• Pragmatic problem-solving — you understand the tradeoffs between different engineering approaches and value shipping over perfection

• Design…
