About the role

AI systems require data in order to be monitored and evaluated and to be improved. The more agentic the system, the more sophisticated the system required to guarantee performance and continuously improve.

You will own these systems. You will own data and evaluations across the platform, including overseeing data labeling strategy, synthetic data generation, experiment generation, etc.

You will work closely with our research team to measure performance and with engineering to build out automated systems.

Your systems will directly power our agents to complete complex accounting workflows, and the systems you build will allow us to tackle ever-increasing complexity. If building the fueling system for our AI agents excites you, apply to join us.

We look for strong ability to manipulate data and run experiments, along with exceptional ability to understand business context, own projects, and communicate across disciplines. Experience with ML is a plus. PM experience is a plus, but not required by any means.

What we look for

• Experienced: 5-10 years of data-heavy workflows (e.g., data science), experiment design, and managing projects; open to exceptional candidates with fewer years and evidence of exceptional ability

• Business context: Quickly pick up context of business use case and can hold this context in mind as working through system

• Project owner: Own projects from start to finish, including managing many dependencies

• Clear communicator: Precise and thoughtful communicator who can break complex concepts down to their fundamental elements

• Systems-thinker: See how all the pieces fit together and develop abstractions to scale

• Interdisciplinary: Willing and interested to jump across multiple disciplines

• Company-builder: Excited to lay the groundwork, technically and culturally, as we rapidly scale

• Passionate: Genuinely excited about our tech and its impact on accounting, finance, and economy

• Curious: Love to play with new ideas/tech

• Office lover: Prefers shouting across a room over a slack message, seeking full-time in-office in NYC

• All-in: This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously

In accordance with New York State regulations, the salary range for this position is $100,000–$300,000. This range represents our broad compensation philosophy and covers various responsibility and experience levels. Additionally, all employees are eligible to participate in our equity plan and benefits program. We are committed to meritocratic and competitive compensation.
