Head of Deployed Engineering

About Us

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of advisory, audit, and tax practitioners at the world's largest CPA firms. Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.

We’re headquartered 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 a growth stage startup 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

Our forward deployed engineers (FDEs) work alongside practitioners at the world's largest audit firms. They build prototype agents on those firms' real workflows and ship production code. One current problem is producing verifiable citations from dense Excel workbooks, because an auditor has to trace every conclusion back to the exact evidence.

Our Head of Deployed Engineering role will start as a player-coach role where you will need to be hands on as we build and scale this effort. At the start, you'll be working directly in customer deployments, writing production code and solving the hardest technical problems yourself. You'll also build and lead the team around you.

As the team grows, your focus will move toward leadership, but you'll always be close to the work. You'll report to our CTO/co-founder and work closely and with Product, Engineering and Customer leadership.

What You'll Do

• As a player: Lead important deployments yourself. Own technical delivery for some of our largest enterprise customers, from scoping through production. This includes single-tenant and government-cloud environments, regulated data, and audit methods that differ from firm to firm.
• Write production code. Build agents, integrations and tools alongside the team, and handle the hardest technical problems directly.
• Be the senior technical voice with customers. Act as a trusted advisor to partners, CIOs and audit leaders on how AI agents fit their practice.
