Front End Developer

Federato technologies is a venture-backed startup based in Menlo Park, CA.  Our founding team has extensive experience in building, researching, and selling machine learning products and came together in search of a product that could leverage these skills for positive impact. Now, we’ve set out to build software that works to address the generation defining issue of economic inequality in the face of climate change.  We are running head first at the $150B+ coverage gap that faces the insurance industry as increasingly frequent and severe weather events challenge the status quo.
