Last month, Seattle startup Front Desk announced a $4 million investment, bringing its extended Series A round to more than $11 million.
Front Desk, led by Expedia and T-Mobile vet Jon Zimmerman, is growing fast. More than 1,000 businesses around the world use its business management software. In December Front Desk joined our Seattle 10 class of groundbreaking young startups.

The small team needs someone who can work across its entire stack. Front Desk is looking for a motivated engineer who can build new features and is willing to work after normal business hours.
