Fieldguide is redefining trust in global commerce by modernizing how cybersecurity, privacy, and financial audits are done. We build software that empowers the practitioners who enable trust between businesses—automating and streamlining their work to deliver faster, higher-quality results.
We're based in San Francisco, CA, but built remote-first. We're opening a new office in Seoul, and we're backed by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, and more. Over 50 of the top 100 accounting and consulting firms trust Fieldguide to power mission-critical work.
About the RoleWe’re hiring Software Engineers across multiple levels to join our growing team. Depending on your experience and interests, you may contribute as a mid-level engineer, take on leadership within a team, or drive technical strategy across teams and systems. The final level will be determined during the interview process based on scope and demonstrated experience.
This is an opportunity to have outsized impact at a company with clear product-market fit and massive growth potential. We’re taking on legacy audit and accounting tools that are decades old, widely disliked, and ripe for disruption.
