About Us:

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners specifically within cybersecurity, privacy, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.

We’re based in San Francisco, CA, but built as a remote-first company that enables you to do your best work from anywhere. We're backed by top investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Y Combinator, Floodgate, Elad Gil, Justin Kan, Qasar Younis, Eric Ries, and more.

We value diversity — in backgrounds and in experiences. We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life to help build the future of audit and advisory. Fieldguide’s team is inclusive, driven, humble and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the kind of team and culture that we are building, seeking teammates that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

As an early stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build out the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them better work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.

About the Role:

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Fieldguide, you'll play a crucial role in developing and implementing ML-driven features that enhance our platform's capabilities in the audit and advisory industry.

This role requires a balance of practical application skills and the ability to conduct necessary research to solve complex problems.

This is an opportunity to join as an early engineer at a company with product-market fit that still has huge amounts of room to grow. We’re competing with legacy accounting and audit products that are 20+ years old and have negative NPS, yet do billions in sales and have seen little competition in a decade.

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to identify and map business problems to ML solutions

  • Design, develop, and implement ML models with a focus on NLP and generative AI applications

  • Curate, clean, and prepare data for model development and training

  • Create and maintain ETL jobs for data processing

  • Conduct rapid prototyping of ML solutions to quickly iterate on ideas

  • Stay current with the latest advancements in ML, particularly in NLP and generative AI

  • Collaborate with the platform engineering team to integrate ML solutions into the overall product architecture

  • Implement data flywheels to continuously improve ML features through increased usage

  • Define and implement ML performance metrics

  • Contribute to the product roadmap with ML-driven feature ideas

  • Be an essential technical contributor at a Series B-stage company as it scales

About You:

  • 4-5 years of experience in applied machine learning or related field

  • Strong proficiency in Python and its ML/data science libraries

  • Extensive experience with NLP techniques and generative AI technologies

  • Experience with LLMs and both text-to-text and text-to-image generative models

  • Proficiency in working with large datasets and creating ETL processes

  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD practices

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, changing startup environment

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience with rapid prototyping of ML solutions

  • Familiarity with model deployment processes

  • Knowledge of ML ops and experience building automated ML pipelines

  • Experience with A/B testing and statistical analysis

  • Modern web tech stacks consisting of several of the following: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, NodeJS, Hasura, Postgres, and AWS

  • Background in or exposure to the audit and advisory industry

  • Experience presenting technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

  • Experience mentoring or leading small teams

View company profile

We are Fieldguide, and we're passionate about transforming the audit and advisory industry. Our journey began when our CEO and co-founder, Jin Chang, experienced firsthand the burnout and inefficiencies prevalent in the profession during his time at a Big Four accounting firm. He envisioned a future where technology could do more than just assist; it could fundamentally reshape how practitioners work. Teaming up with Chris Szymansky, our CTO and co-founder whom he met at legal AI startup Atrium, they set out to reimagine workflows for auditors. We saw a clear opportunity to leverage AI to address the growing imbalance between the high demand for accounting services and the shrinking supply of accounting graduates and CPAs. Our purpose at Fieldguide is to improve the lives of these dedicated professionals – the very people who facilitate trust in commerce and capital markets.

We're building a platform for auditors that takes the pain away from their daily tasks. Our AI-powered, cloud-native software is designed to digitize the end-to-end engagement lifecycle, incorporating the latest in generative and agentic AI to deliver dramatically better results. With just a few clicks, our customers can send client requests, generate reports, summarize documents, and associate client materials with relevant accounting controls. By automating the mundane aspects of the audit process, we empower CPA firms to take on more business without a corresponding increase in headcount, driving margin growth and freeing up professionals to focus on higher-value strategic work. We're proud that in a short time, nearly 40 of the top 100 CPA firms have entrusted Fieldguide to enhance their client engagements. We are committed to addressing the talent shortage in the CPA industry by providing AI solutions that enable practitioners of all levels to tackle manual tasks with speed, high quality, and in a secure, privacy-conscious manner. Our mission is to revolutionize the way advisory and audit work is done, delivering a broader range of AI cloud solutions to firms of all sizes.
