Job description

### WHO WE ARE Biofire Technologies is on a mission to give gun owners better tools for reducing preventable gun injuries and deaths, especially among children. We believe our technology, combined with a best-in-class customer experience, will define the future of firearms safety for the next generation. Our mission-driven approach has earned support from the firearm community, the tech world, and the media. Biofire employees encompass a diverse range of talents, including world-class engineers who have designed and tested firearms, medical devices, robots, cars, satellites, rockets, and supersonic jets; expert technicians from aerospace, defense tech, special forces, and gunsmithing; and elite operators from high-tech, advanced manufacturing, and regulated industries. Whether building the product or powering the company behind it, every Biofire team member is united by an obsession with safety, reliability, and operational excellence. ### OUR CULTURE Reducing accidental firearm injuries and deaths requires original thinking and authentic collaboration, so we’re deeply invested in building a team and culture that can achieve our mission together. Team members enjoy autonomy and flexibility from day one, so expect to be immediately tasked with solving challenging problems and building new systems that work. We’ll hold you accountable for executing audacious goals, giving and receiving honest feedback, and helping your teammates succeed. You’ll receive respect, kindness, and support from every direction while you figure out how to get it all done. ### ABOUT THE ROLE As a Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A at Biofire, you will play a pivotal role in owning and maintaining Biofire's forward-looking financial picture — including the investor model and operational budget model — keeping them always current and accurate. We are looking for someone who is analytically rigorous, operationally curious, and highly autonomous to contribute to our Financial Operations team and help give leadership a real-time, reliable view of the company's financial trajectory. To succeed you will need to be able to build, maintain, and continuously refine financial models that accurately reflect the business, investigate variances independently, and deliver insights with context and narrative. You will need to be a self-driven analytical thinker, who is eager to take full ownership of Biofire's FP&A function and turn financial data into actionable intelligence for decision-making. If you're excited about helping to solve mission-critical challenges, we encourage you to apply.
