Why this is a great job
This space may be anathema to some of you, but creative solutions are needed to this huge problem in the U.S., and Biofire seems to be on track to provide an important one. You’ll work on a broad range of tasks and seemingly as much responsibility as you can handle. If you want a challenge and to work at a company that will save lives, this may be the role for you.
The nitty gritty
Company website: www.biofire.io
Location: Broomfield, Colorado
Biofire’s mission is to redesign firearms from the ground up for the 21st century, bringing much-needed innovation to a space that has seen little innovation in 50 years. Named the “Tesla of the gun world” by the WSJ, Biofire is enabling radically safer ownership of firearms.
A technological solution that sidesteps the political conversation around guns, Biofire’s Smart Gun™ is uniquely able to prevent avoidable and accidental gun deaths. By offering gun owners the option of a Smart Gun™ that only they or someone they authorize can use, we are empowering them with full control over their firearm so that the next time a child or teenager finds a gun, it will be locked and unusable. This is just the beginning of the improvements we will bring to market by rethinking everything to create the modern firearm.
Biofire has received international recognition in the WSJ, NYT, Bloomberg, Fast Company and many more for our industry-changing technology. We are backed by expert investors, founders and advisors.
Role
You will be an integral part of a team of talented individuals passionate about solving hard problems to make Biofire’s mission a success.

We’re looking for exceptional operators who rely on data, value getting the job done, and are constantly seeking to improve their ability to execute.
Day to day responsibilities of the role will include:
Owning mission-critical projects end-to-end across all areas of Biofire;
Working across teams to engage stakeholders, deeply understand problems, and gather data;
Diagnosing complex problems and developing compelling, data-driven solutions;
Taking care of your teammates;
Rigorously focusing on improving yourself, your team, and the company.
