About Fira

At Fira, we create the best financial research platform for investment firms. Our goal is to build the best product that is tailored for financial analysis workflows, integrated into company's knowledge, and securely deployed.

Alexey and I (Alex) are both second-time technical founders, with Alexey having a successful exit. We recently went through the winter Y Combinator batch, raised funding, and already have one of the best products. We're seeing strong demand for Fira and actively hiring first employees to leverage the momentum.

  • Prototype and design UI for new features
  • Collaborate and help our AI engineer with data processing and agentic LLM tasks in Python

What we’re looking for

  • Strong frontend software engineer with fluency in TypeScript, Next.js and React
  • Ability to design and prototype interfaces that are simple yet great in CSS and Tailwind
  • Strong backend expertise, including Postgres, Redis, AWS, background jobs
  • Track record of shipping new features with high velocity
  • A daily LLM user in both coding and life
  • Curiosity to learn and understand financial analyst’s workflows

Why join us
