  • Act as the technical project manager for pilot projects, ensuring they meet client expectations.

  • Collaborate with product teams to influence the development of new features based on customer feedback.

  • Pitch and implement AI-powered customer service solutions, leading hands-on proofs of concept (POCs) that validate value, performance, and real-world impact for prospective customers.

  • Understand Front’s API inside and out so you can come up with creative solutions and confidently guide customers through them

What skills and experience do you need?

  • 4-7 years of solutions engineering or architecture, preferably at a SaaS company with complex workflow automation products or customer support platforms.

  • Proven success in partnering with sales teams, preferably in an enterprise SaaS capacity.

  • Experience working with or integrating AI-powered features and the ability to explain their value and limitations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Strong understanding of software design principles.

Front operates on a hybrid model — we come together in the office each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to collaborate and stay connected.
