When you join FYI, you’ll be working on solving a problem you and most other people have. One that FYI co-founders Marie Prokopets and Hiten Shah discovered through extensive research. They found that the most painful productivity problem people have at work is finding information and keeping up to date on what’s happening across the company. We’re a fully-remote customer-focused team of 10 who are improving how people collaborate with each other across the apps they use. Our product is evolving. Today, FYI helps individuals find their documents in 3 clicks or less and has won a Golden Kitty Award in the LifeHack category from Product Hunt. We’re in the midst of building features to empower teams and companies to find the information they need quickly.
We’re hiring an Infrastructure and DevOps Engineer to become a key team member that helps fuel our growth and build a product companies love to use.
