Senior Backend Engineer - remote

FYI helps companies create a more productive and happier workplace through the use of technology that bridges time zones, 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. 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 and to know who has access to company information. FYI brings documents, teams, and tools into a single interface that’s connected to all the software that a company uses.

We’re a fully remote team of just under 20 people looking to add a Senior Backend Engineer.

• Architecture design, API design, data modeling.
