About Fieldguide

Fieldguide is the agentic AI platform for audit and advisory firms. Field Agents run planning, testing, and review—trusted by 50% of the top 100 firms. Backed by Bessemer.

About the role

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. Build the FDE team. Hire, coach and grow strong engineers who can both build and work directly with customers. Set the bar through your own work first. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ 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
  • You still build. You've written production software recently and want to keep doing it. This role isn't a fit for someone looking for a manage-only role
  • Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and excitement about building a team from an early stage
  • Comfort in front of senior enterprise stakeholders, especially in regulated or complex environments
  • Good judgment about building for one customer versus the platform, and the ability to push back on scope when it matters
  • Excitement about bringing AI agents into high-stakes professional work
