About Fieldguide

Fieldguide is redefining trust in global commerce by modernizing how cybersecurity, privacy, and financial audits are done. We build software that empowers the practitioners who enable trust between businesses—automating and streamlining their work to deliver faster, higher-quality results.

We’re a remote-first company headquartered in San Francisco, CA, backed by top investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Y Combinator, Floodgate, Elad Gil, and more. Our team values diversity of backgrounds and experiences, and we’re deliberate about building an inclusive, humble, and high-performing culture.

We’re hiring Software Engineers across multiple levels to join our growing team. Depending on your experience and interests, you may contribute as a mid-level engineer, take on leadership within a team, or drive technical strategy across teams and systems. The final level will be determined during the interview process based on scope and demonstrated experience.

In this role, you'll build AI agents that augment and automate complex audit workflows, working across the full stack to design agent architectures, integrate LLMs, and create systems that learn and improve over time.

This is an opportunity to have an outsized impact at a company with clear product-market fit and massive growth potential. We’re taking on legacy audit and accounting tools that are decades old, widely disliked, and ripe for disruption.
