About the role
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 and backed by top investors including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, 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
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Financial Audit team at Fieldguide. Financial Audit is one of our most important strategic bets right now, and this is a high-impact role on a team that's building something genuinely new. We're not bolting AI onto traditional workflows; we're rethinking financial audit as agentic-first from the ground up. You'll own major workstreams tied to our largest customer onboardings and most ambitious product bets, working alongside engineers, product managers, designers, and financial audit subject matter experts who are all deeply embedded in the problem.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll write code every day, and increasingly write code with AI. We're an AI-native team using tools like Claude Code extensively, and we expect this person to push that boundary further.
What You'll Do
Design and build agent-driven experiences for financial audit workflows, deciding where autonomy makes sense and where the auditor stays in the loop
Own complex, end-to-end workstreams tied to onboarding our largest customers
Ship code from day one and ramp quickly into full ownership of significant product areas
Collaborate daily with product managers, designers, and financial audit SMEs to work through hard domain problems
Help shape technical direction and contribute to how the team thinks about agentic systems, AI tooling, and engineering best practices
Mentor other engineers and contribute to our interview process as the team scales
Who You Are
A strong full-stack engineer who writes code every day and wants to keep doing that
Comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you figure things out as you go
High degree of ownership; you don't wait to be told what to do
Curious about AI and agentic systems, and already using AI coding tools in your workflow
Able to pick up complex domain concepts quickly. You don't need to know financial auditing, but you're the kind of person who can internalize it fast
Collaborative by nature, you want to be in the room with product, design, and domain experts working through hard problems together
Experienced leading projects and driving technical decisions with a bias toward action
Bonus Points
Experience in financial services, audit, accounting, or compliance
Prior work building AI or agent-driven product experiences
Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Node.js, PostgreSQL
Background working at high-growth startups where you wore a lot of hats
Experience with document processing or infrastructure work
