Backend Engineer

Front is building an artificial intelligence platform to transform the modern workforce. Our Ai platform allows team members to access information and streamline processes. We are integrated with a who's who of apps including Google Drive, Box, Salesforce, Zenefits, Office 365, Tableau, DOMO and 40+ others. We support new ideas, collaboration, and the ownership of our product throughout the organization.

Front engineers enjoy the opportunity and benefits of working at an early-stage artificial intelligence startup, but in an environment much more akin to a later stage company given the experience of the founding team. The culture at Front encourages innovation, independent problem solving, and collaboration as we continue to mature our product in the ever-changing work of AI.

Front is funded by the EQUITY.com incubator. As part of our dedication to the St. Louis community, Front is partnered with Create a Loop, a nonprofit focused on teaching kids computer science.
