About Doss

Tools for real-world operations for consumer goods. Backed by Madrona.

About the role

Every ERP claims to be "AI-powered." Almost none of them let an operator ask a question in plain language and get an answer grounded in their live procurement, inventory, and finance data, let alone let an agent safely take action on it. That's the goal of this job: you'll own applied AI across Doss: Dossbot (query, analyze, and automate via chat), AI-assisted schema and workflow generation, and the agentic automations that turn back-office busywork into background processes.

What they're looking for

  • Shipped LLM-powered features or agents to production and operated them at scale, not just prototypes or demos
  • Deep hands-on work with foundation model APIs, RAG pipelines, tool use/function calling, prompt and context engineering, and fine-tuning where it earns its keep
  • Built eval harnesses and guardrails for non-deterministic systems running against business-critical data
  • Strong backend fundamentals: Designing systems, Postgres, and cloud services for reliable, multi-tenant web applications
  • Going from 0 to 1 in ambiguous settings, and judgment for when AI is the right tool and when it isn't
