ABOUT FEEDFORWARD
Artificial
intelligence to enable human creativity. We create products and services
for the creative industries, with a focus on music and media.
FeedForward
exists to work with businesses and creators within the creative
industry who want to work with AI, but don’t have access to the
expertise. We are the bridge between the frontier of machine learning
and its applications. Our primary product is Figaro, an AI search engine
for music and sound catalogues.
ROLE OVERVIEW
FeedForward
is growing rapidly. As a business, we are committed to sustainable
growth - we have grown organically since we started at the beginning of
2018 and have recently taken strategic angel investment to accelerate
the development of Figaro. On the back of our growth, we are looking to
scale our engineering team.
