About the Role

Fieldguide is building AI agents for the most complex audit and advisory workflows. We’re a San Francisco-based vertical AI company operating in a $100B+ market undergoing rapid transformation. Over 50 of the top 100 accounting and consulting firms trust Fieldguide to power mission-critical work.

As an AI Engineer, you’ll build Fieldguide’s intelligence layer—agentic workflows, architectures, and evaluation systems that power enterprise-grade agents. You’ll operate at the intersection of product engineering, applied AI, and production systems.

What You’ll OwnBuild and Ship AI Agents
  • Implement agentic workflows that automate complex audit tasks

  • Turn customer problems into discrete, testable agent behaviors

  • Integrate LLMs, tools, and retrieval logic into reliable agent experiences

  • Monitor and maintain agents in production with a focus on reliability and performance

Execute with AI-Native Leverage
  • Use AI tooling to accelerate how you design, build, and test features

  • Prototype quickly and harden systems for enterprise reliability

  • Build evaluations and feedback loops to improve agent outputs

  • Write prompts and retrieval pipelines that perform at scale

Contribute to Product Impact
  • Work closely with senior engineers and product to scope and deliver features

  • Translate customer workflows into clear engineering requirements

  • Identify and surface capability gaps to improve team velocity

Who You Are

You’re a strong software engineer who’s built your skills for an AI-native world. These principles resonate with you:

  • Bias to building: You move fast and resolve uncertainty by shipping

  • AI-native instincts: You're excited to use LLMs, agents, and automation as core tools

  • Curiosity and learning velocity: You ramp quickly on new problems and technology

  • Collaborative: You communicate proactively and seek feedback often

  • Attention to detail: You care about quality in code and customer-facing outputs

Experience

We care more about capability and trajectory than years on a resume, but most strong candidates have:

  • 1–3 years shipping production software in real-world systems

  • Proficiency in TypeScript and/or Python

  • Some exposure to LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) or AI tooling

  • Familiarity with retrieval pipelines, RAG concepts, or vector databases is a plus

  • Experience with React and Postgres is helpful but not required

  • Comfortable working in ambiguity with direction from senior engineers

What Should Excite You
  • Enterprise-grade reliability: Building systems professionals depend on

  • Human-in-the-loop design: Knowing when to automate vs. when to surface decisions

  • Nuanced evaluation: Audits require judgment, so feedback structures matter

  • Explainability: Making AI outputs and reasoning transparent and trustworthy

  • Complex domains: Navigating compliance and enterprise rigor while moving fast

  • Shipping daily value: Delivering agent experiences customers use every day

Benefits
  • Competitive compensation with equity

  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits

  • Flexible time off and work schedules

  • Technology reimbursements

  • 401(k) plan

  • Twice-yearly in-person offsites across the U.S.

  • Wellness benefits starting on your first day

Our Values
  • Fearless — Inspire and break down seemingly impossible walls

  • Fast — Launch fast with excellence; iterate to perfection

  • Lovable — Deliver happiness and 11-star experiences

  • Owners — Execute and run the business with ownership

  • Win-win — Create mutual value and earn trust for life

  • Inclusive — Scale the best ideas with inclusive teams

Skills Required

  • Multiple years of experience shipping production software in complex, real-world systems
  • Experience with TypeScript, React, Python, and Postgres
  • Built and deployed LLM-powered features serving production traffic
  • Designed retrieval pipelines and agent orchestration systems
  • Implemented evaluation frameworks for model outputs and agent behaviors
  • Worked with vector databases, embedding models, and RAG architectures
  • Hands-on experience with modern LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, etc.) and agent frameworks
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and taking responsibility for outcomes
