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 financial audit. 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:

At Fieldguide, we believe building the future of trust starts with our infrastructure. The Infrastructure Platform team at Fieldguide is responsible for the stability, resiliency, security, and performance of the underlying infrastructure that powers the multinational Fieldguide cloud platform. We’re seeing incredible growth as more and more customers onboard onto our platform, and we have major infrastructure and security initiatives to accomplish throughout the next year.

We are on the lookout for an exceptional engineer to help lead our team in expanding, hardening, and optimizing our platform. In this role, you will be a key technical contributor collaborating with development teams and business leaders to ensure world-class scalability and reliability of our products.

Fieldguide’s platform is primarily composed of TypeScript-based microservices and serverless functions. We manage our own Kubernetes clusters which run on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and we leverage Helm, GitHub Actions, and Terraform to do most of our heavy lifting.

What You'll Do:

  • Serve as a steward of our platform by designing, implementing, and testing our infrastructure to meet our application feature and scalability goals

  • Foster a learning culture within the team by conducting code reviews, root cause analysis, and continuous learning exercises

  • Serve as a subject matter expert on our infrastructure to other teams seeking to build their services upon it

  • Coordinate closely with the Application pillar in our Platform team as we tackle major initiatives like multi-region deployments and telemetry improvements

About You:

  • 5+ years of total experience in SRE, DevOps, platform, or infrastructure roles

  • Experience with high-uptime, globally distributed environments and IaC principles

  • Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS

  • Experience with container runtime architectures, preferably Kubernetes

  • Proficiency with at least one programming language, preferably Typescript, Python, or Go

  • Experience leveraging network and security concepts to meet business compliance needs

  • Experience with relational database design and administration

  • 1+ year in a startup environment or interest in working at a startup

We'd love to talk to you if you have:

  • Deep knowledge of the Linux container and Kubernetes ecosystems

  • Experience with distributed system reliability and performance testing, such as chaos engineering practices

  • Extensive experience designing infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

  • Extensive knowledge of web application observability, ideally OpenTelemetry

  • Experience with vector storage and search tools, such as pg_vector or OpenSearch

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.
