Junior Infrastructure Automation

ForePaaS is a modern data platform to create, deploy and scale AI projects easily on the cloud. While there are now many machine learning and data technologies, the challenge of implementing analytics and AI systems at a large scale is still very real. However, the enterprise AI journey does not have to be that painful, nor lock the users to one provider forever! ForePaaS aims to bring open all the tools, from the sourcing of data to the visualization of AI-insights, with guaranteed security and infinite scalability, in one end-to-end platform. Users can effortlessly build their own dream data project on the cloud of their choice, so the society of the future can leverage an information flow circulating everywhere, and start making AI-based decisions.

Headquartered in the Paris area, ForePaaS was founded in 2014 and was acquired in 2022 by OVHcloud, the European leader in cloud computing, to drive its Big Data and analytics software initiatives worldwide. Companies using the ForePaaS platform have accelerated by x10 their time-to-delivery of the MVP of AI or analytics projects and saved 75% on average on licensing costs compared to traditional BI tools or do-it-yourself approaches. ForePaaS’ users include large Fortune 500 companies worldwide such as Mitsubishi or Total.
