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 worlds 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. 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 others growth.
If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.
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 Senior Manager, 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, youll be working directly in customer deployments, writing production code and solving the hardest technical problems yourself. Youll report to our CTO/co-founder and work closely and with Product, Engineering and Customer leadership.
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.
Be the senior technical voice with customers. Hire, coach and grow strong engineers who can both build and work directly with customers. Make deployment repeatable. Turn what you learn from hands-on work into playbooks, tools and metrics that speed up time-to-value as we grow upmarket.
Turn field work into product. Spot patterns across deployments and work with Product and Engineering so solutions built for one customer become reusable platform features.
5+ years of leadership experience in forward deployed, deployment, solutions or customer engineering. That might mean FDE leadership at Palantir or a similar company, a Field CTO role, or leading technical work with large enterprise customers.
