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 Own ## **Build 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. # 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
