Documents. They are a part of most of our daily lives. And yet we just can’t find them.

The number one problem people have with documents is finding them across all the apps they use.

The FYI team is hard at work to solve this massive problem. We’re a fully-remote customer-focused team of 15 who are improving how people collaborate with each other.

Now, we’re in the midst of building features to empower teams and companies to find the information they need quickly.

We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to become a key team member that helps fuel our growth and build a product companies love to use.

Through building integrations with cloud services such as G-Suite, Dropbox, Notion, and many more, you’ll help FYI make sure the product delivers on its value proposition: finding the information people need at work, right when they need it.

What You’ll Do:

• Architecture design, API design, data modeling.
• Analyze cloud products and API documentation to design and build integrations

• You’re able to effectively balance speed/quality/tech debt and make engineering decisions that enable speed and quality results.

FYI helps companies create a more productive and happier workplace through the use of technology that bridges timezones, teams and tools.

Work has become fragmented.

No single app will ever provide everything a whole company needs. Each team uses their own set of tools to create, store, and share information.

Work is now distributed across time zones, teams, and tools.

It’s getting worse. Self-service, freemium, and SaaS apps have given anyone the ability to easily add another app to their company.

Even enterprise companies are struggling as they move to the cloud and realize that shared drives and workspaces are a thing of the past.

With this fragmentation, it’s now impossible to see what’s happening at work.
