About the Role

Were hiring a Staff 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 thats building something new. Were not bolting AI onto traditional workflows; were rethinking financial audit as agentic-first from the ground up. Youll 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 youll write code every day and increasingly write code with AI. Were an AI-native team using tools like Claude Code extensively and we expect this person to push that boundary further.

What Youll Do

• Set technical direction for agentic financial audit experiences making architectural decisions that balance autonomy reliability and auditability

• Own the most complex ambiguous engineering problems on the team and drive them to resolution without needing a well-defined path handed to you

• Design and build agent-driven workflows from the ground up defining where AI autonomy is appropriate and where human judgment needs to stay in the loop

• Partner with product and design to shape what we build not just how we build it bringing technical perspective into roadmap and strategy conversations early

• Mentor and grow the engineers around you through code review pairing and the way you approach and communicate hard problems

• Contribute to our interview process and help us raise the bar as we scale the team

Who You Are

• A seasoned full-stack engineer with a track record of driving large complex projects from an ambiguous problem to production

• Experienced in setting technical direction at the team or org level not just delivering within it

• Comfortable operating where the requirements are unclear and the right answer isnt obvious

• A strong technical collaborator who influences product and design decisions

• Already using AI coding tools as a core part of how you work and thoughtful about where agentic approaches create real leverage

• Able to build deep domain knowledge fast; you dont need to know financial auditing today but youll understand it well enough to make the right technical calls within months

• A multiplier on the engineers around you; your impact extends well beyond your own code

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 PostgreSQL

• Background working at high-growth startups where you wore a lot of hats

• Experience with document processing or infrastructure work
