Software Engineer in Test

About Frontier

Frontier is a subsidiary of Fresh Prints. Fresh Prints is a New York based, fast-growing, fully-remote, 150-person company that has most of our team in India and Philippines. A few years ago Fresh Prints started helping other fast-growing companies build their teams. We got so good at it that we decided to spin out a new company to focus exclusively on that and call it Frontier.

Here at Frontier, we help companies grow full-time, cross-functional teams abroad. We hire the smartest people, and we place them into the best companies. If you like one of the Frontier roles, and you apply, and you're accepted, we'll screen you with a couple of internal interviews, and will work on getting you an interview for a full-time job within the month. Think of us as your personal talent agent, and good luck with the application :)
