building the ai foundation and engineering culture

Working on the AI and machine learning team at FloQast means joining a group of smart, driven engineers dedicated to developing the company's AI foundation. A key aspect of the culture is the complete autonomy engineers have over their respective areas. Currently, the team is focused on enhancing their core AI tool, FloQast Transform, to deliver significantly more value to end users. It offers an exciting environment for tackling the complex problems that will shape how the company builds AI for years to come.

customer-centric ai development and testing

Our AI engineers spend real time with actual accountants, our customers, to understand the work before we ever start building. That partnership is exactly why we built our eval harness, which tests every change we make to our agents before it ever reaches a customer. We care as much about getting it right as we do about building fast.

building trustworthy ai for accounting workflows

Transform AI Agents lets FloQast users use AI to build deterministic workflows that transform their data and automate the tedious, recurring stuff that eats up their day. And since FloQast's customers are accountants, accuracy and audibility are paramount. The AI has to do exactly what they'd have done and show how it did it or they won't trust it.
