About Farsight AI
Farsight is the agentic AI platform for financial services, currently helping investment banks and private equity firms fully automate entire, highly nuanced workflows. Today, institutions will spend 80% of their time gathering information for and creating first drafts of materials by hand before iterating on and refining their decks, models, and pitches. We not only give them that time back to focus on what is important, but we also bring new insights and knowledge to their materials that they wouldn’t be able to uncover without the help of our financial-focused AI.
Our Team
Our team has had a wide range of experience that uniquely equips us to capture this massive opportunity. Our team comes from leading financial institutions like Evercore, General Atlantic and Menlo Ventures, supercharged by scalable engineering and AI skills from companies including Amazon, Hugging Face and the MIT Media Lab. We've learned the ins and outs of building successful startups from previous work as founders and founding engineers. We focus on hiring the best so that we can become the best, so we hope you apply!
We are entirely based in Manhattan, New York City, and are in-person 4 days a week (except Fridays, which are remote).
The Role
Farsight operates at the cutting edge of AI to deliver human-like work within some of the world's largest and most critical financial organizations. As a Frontend Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and building the interfaces through which our users experience that work. You'll be turning powerful agentic outputs into seamless, intuitive product experiences for investment banking, private equity, and more!
You will work directly at the interface between customer and product, moving quickly to address real feedback while upholding our standard of clean, efficient, and ready-for-change software. The scope of your projects will range from longer-term platform investments to rapid iteration on customer-facing features. Each one will be crucial to our company's success.
