What You’ll Do
Design and build agent-driven experiences for SOX control testing, deciding where autonomy makes sense and where the auditor stays in the loop
Own complex, end-to-end workstreams across the full stack
Make long agentic runs trustworthy: improve reliability, repeatability, performance, and observability so the same evidence produces the same defensible conclusion every time
Turn agent output into finished audit deliverables, including structured workpapers that adapt to whatever template a firm brings
Ship code from day one and ramp quickly into full ownership of significant product areas
Collaborate daily with product managers, designers, and SOX subject matter experts to work through difficult domain problems
Help shape technical direction and contribute to how the team thinks about agentic systems, AI tooling, and engineering best practices
Who You Are (All Levels)
A strong full-stack engineer who writes code every day and wants to continue doing so
You’ve built with LLMs in production, not just in prototypes. You know what breaks when real users and real documents hit an agent
Comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you figure things out as you go
Energized by 0→1 work: you’d rather define the problem than inherit a spec
High degree of ownership; you don’t wait to be told what to do
A genuine team player across the organization, not just within engineering. You’ll work directly with PM, design, domain experts, and customer-facing teams, and you treat that as the best part of the job
Able to pick up complex domain concepts quickly. You don’t need to know SOX or internal controls, but you’re the kind of person who can internalize it fast
Already using AI coding tools in your workflow and curious about where agentic approaches create real leverage
Higher-Level Responsibilities
At the Senior level, you may
Lead complex projects or systems, setting technical direction and ensuring long-term health
Collaborate with PMs and designers to shape roadmaps and define architectural tradeoffs
Serve as a domain expert within one or more technical areas (e.g., agent orchestration, evaluation and quality, document processing, frontend architecture)
Mentor other engineers and help raise the technical bar across the team
At the Staff level, you may
Drive company-level technical initiatives and influence cross-team architecture
Set and champion engineering standards for scalability, security, and performance
Partner with engineering and product leadership to define long-term technical strategy
Serve as a trusted advisor to leaders across Engineering, Product, and Design
Represent Fieldguide externally through writing, speaking, and open-source contributions
Experience
Must-have
Shipped LLM-backed product features to production against real users
Comfortable full-stack, with enough backend depth to work in agent orchestration
Autonomy working from an ambiguous spec
A collaborative mindset with an ability to work across PM, design, and domain experts
Willingness to develop an Applied AI skillset including writing evals, using LLM observability tools, and being thoughtful about quality
Nice-to-have
Startup experience, as a founder or as an early engineer
A track record of 0→1 projects you took from nothing to something people use
Experience working directly with customers, and comfort being in the room when they use what you built
Experience in internal audit, SOX, financial services, accounting, or compliance
Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Python, and Temporal
Experience with document processing, PDF/Excel manipulation, or evaluation frameworks for model output
Not a fit if
You’re not interested in deeply learning about Agents
You’ve never built a product to scale
You need a fully specified ticket to start
You’d rather not be in the room with customers and domain experts
What Should Excite You
0→1 on the biggest bet: You’re building the agent and the product from scratch, on the ground floor of where the company is going
Real audit stakes: Your work directly affects what firms put in front of their clients, and what a reviewer is willing to sign
Customer proximity: Design-partner firms and an embedded SOX expert use what you ship within days of it landing
High trust, high autonomy: You’re given ambiguous problems and trusted to define the plan
