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.

Farsight’s flagship product is our Office Add-in

a native integration inside PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. Rather than asking bankers to leave their existing workflow, we bring Farsight's full AI capabilities into the tools they already live in

Farsight is also building the first system that learns the judgment, taste, and iteration that goes between a first and final draft for financial deliverables!

Our Team

We're a team built of top-tier ex-banking and engineering talent: Hugging Face, AWS, founding engineers of other startups, JPMorgan, Evercore, General Atlantic, and more.

We are entirely based in Manhattan, New York City, and are in-person 4 days a week (except Fridays, which are remote).

• Someone who reasons about failure modes, edge cases, and scale before writing code, comfortable making architectural decisions with incomplete information and adapting when they're wrong

Above and Beyond Qualifications

• Have previously worked at either an early-stage startup or big tech
• Understanding of system design patterns and test-driven development techniques in order to create reliable, ready for change code
