About The Role

Natural language is the new code. You will be responsible for architecting the system that underpins the prompts we use to program LMs.

You will work closely with our research team to determine ideal prompt structures, iterate on tools to automatically improve context & instructions, and build internal evaluation systems to constantly monitor performance. Your systems will directly power our agents to complete complex accounting workflows, and the tooling you build will allow us to tackle ever-increasing complexity. If building the core language of our AI agents excites you, apply to join us.

An engineering background is a plus, but not required. We look for exceptional reasoners, strong writers, and systematic thinkers. Experience with LLMs, or an interest in information theory is a requirement.
