Design, develop, and maintain firmware for embedded systems; collaborate with teams; ensure code quality through reviews and testing.
Welcome to Fi.
We’re a passionate team from Square, Google, Peloton, Uber, and more, working to redefine the dog-human connection. Our mission? Harness cutting-edge technology to transform what it means to be a dog parent.
The pet industry has been stuck in the past for far too long, and we’re here to change that. At Fi, we’re combining expertise and innovation to improve the lives of millions of dogs across the U.S. Real-time location tracking, activity, sleep, and behavior monitoring – and that’s just the start.
The most exciting part? Bridging the communication gap between dogs and humans. Picture a world where you know how your dog feels in real time and how to keep them at their best. That’s the future we’re building at Fi.
If you thrive in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment and are passionate about helping dogs live longer, healthier lives, we want you on the team. Together, let’s redefine the future of dog ownership – turning the “impossible” into “let me find a way.”

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
