Business Development Representative

New York, NY (In-Office) · Full-Time

About Firefly:

If you haven’t yet, check out what we’re building.

Firefly exists to solve one of the defining challenges of the modern day: physical safety in the places we work, learn, and live.

Physical safety has relied on a patchwork of disjointed legacy tools. The result is fragmented information, communication gaps, and slower emergency response, making it harder to keep people safe and get help when it matters most.

Firefly is replacing these tools with a unified, AI-native platform that helps organizations understand their environment, coordinate action, and initiate response. We combine intelligent software with a thoughtfully-designed hardware suite to bring consumer-grade experiences to one of the world's largest and most important industries.
