Role
Who you are
- Architecting distributed, server‑side systems in production, balancing speed with long‑term maintainability
- Programming in TypeScript/Node and/or Python, with strong fundamentals in relational databases such as Postgres
- Building and operating message/worker queues (e.g., AWS SQS, RabbitMQ, Kafka) at scale
- Deploying and monitoring workloads on AWS or GCP using IaC and CI/CD pipelines
- Writing maintainable, well‑tested code and leading projects involving multiple contributors
Desirable
- Temporal or other workflow orchestration engines
- Pgvector, Pinecone, or other vector database technologies
- Integrating with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar LLM APIs
- SRE or platform engineering background with a focus on reliability and observability
- Designing zero‑to‑one developer platforms or internal tooling for AI features
What the job involves
- We are looking for a senior‑level back‑end engineer who loves building rock‑solid, scalable platforms and who thrives on enabling others to ship AI‑powered features quickly and safely
- You will be the technical owner of our GenAI platform – the layer that powers ultra‑high‑throughput workflows such as ingesting hundreds of thousands of PDFs, extracting and vectorizing their content, and orchestrating agentic runtimes that call large‑language‑model APIs
- You will focus on the architecture, infrastructure, and developer experience that make AI features reliable, observable, and fast
- Design and implement service‑oriented architectures for AI workflows, including web servers, background workers, task queues, and event streams
- Harden and extend our Temporal‑based orchestration layer; own uptime, scaling, and observability for critical agentic workflows
- Build ingestion and retrieval pipelines that push the limits of pgvector, Pinecone, or similar vector stores
- Create tooling and CLIs that allow any engineer to stand up, debug, and deploy new LLM-powered workflows in minutes
- Optimize cost and performance across AWS, GCP, and other clouds as we expand our multi‑cloud strategy
- Collaborate closely with ML engineers, product managers, and infra/SRE teammates to ship lovable user experiences
- Champion engineering best practices around testing, monitoring, and secure handling of sensitive data
Our take
Fieldguide offers a cloud-native collaboration and automation platform for accounting and advisory practices. The idea is to make workflow and collaboration more streamlined, and automate parts of it altogether, for teams working on cybersecurity, risk, and ESG audits.
Fieldguide has launched with a focus on three high-demand and high-growth areas of business. With cybersecurity and ESG in particular seeing increased corporate investment, thanks to the steep costs of error or regulatory non-compliance, demand for tech that can help manage this influx of auditing work is likely to grow fast. Indeed, Fieldguide has received an impressive funding injection which will see the company looking to expand the kinds of audit their product applies to, as well as aggressively growing their team.
Fieldguide has already netted some key audit and advisory firms as clients and a substantial Series B funding round, suggesting that the young company is onto something good. Internal productivity tools are seeing a boom across multiple industries, with automation also seeing a significant uptake for enterprise businesses. If Fieldguide can successfully manage its scale-up, it could become an important software player.
