What Are We Building?

Great people are working on overdrive to do a great job but are held back because their inbox is failing them.


We're building an AI productivity tool that eliminates admin for client-facing professionals: consultants, recruiters, real estate agents anyone drowning in emails, scheduling, and follow-ups. Fyxer AI drafts emails in your voice, takes crisp meeting notes, and auto-manages your inbox.

###

How's It Going?

Since launching in May 2024, we've grown from $0 to $10M+ ARR with thousands of paying users. In Feb 2025, we raised a $10M Series A backed by top-tier investors including Marc Benioff (Salesforce) and 20VC.


We spent Q4 2024 at HF0 in San Francisco, the top AI startup accelerator, learning from legends like the CEO of Instacart and the Head of Applied Research at OpenAI.


We're now entering hypergrowth and building the engineering team that will scale us to $50M+ in revenue.

###

What We Value

Small teams. Big ownership. High talent density.



We don't hire for headcount. We hire people who ship, who care, and who think from first principles.


At Fyxer, "Product Engineer" means you're not just writing backend endpoints you're building products. You'll look at usage data, talk to customers, and design elegant solutions with real impact.

###

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work closely with Matt (CTO) and the engineering team to scale and evolve our backend systems as we grow to tens of thousands of users.
