Company mission
Fi's mission is to build products that make dogs' lives better.
Role
Who you are
- If you're someone who thrives in innovative, collaborative work environments and feels strongly about helping dogs live longer, better lives, Fi could be the perfect fit
- Minimum of 6 years of experience as a Software Engineer, specializing in technologies such as AWS, TypeScript, NodeJS, and React
- Proven track record of delivering outstanding software, from initial design to production deployment
- Experience in developing consumer products from inception to completion is highly desirable
- Passionate about technology and eager to drive innovation
What the job involves
- Join us in our pursuit of the “impossible,” or as we call it here “let me find a way,” to redefine the future of dog ownership together
- Fi is looking for a Senior Software Engineer!
- As a pivotal member of our engineering team, you will report directly to the Backend Lead and play a crucial role in shaping our technical direction
- You thrive on the challenge of transforming concepts into remarkable solutions and are well-versed in a variety of backend technologies, along with an understanding of best architectural practices
- Collaborate with the engineering team to deliver exceptional services and backend systems
- Engage in complex engineering challenges on the backend, covering creating dashboards, data aggregation, machine learning, and the development of scalable services
- Contribute to the development and deployment of our technology ecosystem, gaining proficiency in new technologies as you go
- Work with our native mobile applications and backend stack, aligning with industry standards
Our take
For the last three decades, dog collars and leashes have remained largely unchanged. Fi was set up by a product team drawn from the ranks of Uber, Square, and Google to disrupt the stagnant dog collar space.
Fi's tracking collars have not only saved countless dogs' lives by providing real-time escape notifications, but they also enable dog owners to monitor their pets' health. Its health and sleep monitoring set it apart from rival products such as the Apple AirTag, whilst the development of a collar that administers topical medicine is also in the works. As Fi utilizes AT&T signal, it also boasts a tracking range that far exceeds that of its competitors.
The company saw a significant increase in value through its lucrative partnership with PetSmart. These sorts of partnerships and overall brand recognition will fuel the sort of expansion Fi aims to achieve.
