Fira is seeking a founding fullstack engineer to join their mission of creating the best financial AI agent for investment firms. As the first full-time engineer, you'll have comprehensive responsibility for the Fira web app, bridging cutting-edge LLM technology with practical financial analysis tools.
The role combines frontend and backend development, requiring expertise in TypeScript, Next.js, React, and backend technologies like Postgres, Redis, and AWS. You'll work directly with the founders and AI engineer to shape the product's architecture and user experience.
The company, founded by second-time technical founders with successful exits, recently completed Y Combinator's winter batch and secured funding. They're seeing strong market demand and are looking to expand their core team.
Key responsibilities include shipping end-to-end product features, developing robust backend systems, owning product quality, prototyping UI designs, and collaborating on AI/LLM tasks. The ideal candidate should have strong frontend skills, UI design capabilities, backend expertise, and a track record of shipping features quickly.
The position offers competitive compensation (£80,000-£120,000), significant equity (0.5-2.5%), and the opportunity to work from their London office. The company provides health insurance and supports relocation. This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled engineer who wants to shape the future of financial technology while working with cutting-edge AI tools.
