## Job Description
## What You'll Do

- Own AI features end-to-end: from designing agentic workflows and RAG pipelines to the infrastructure that runs them in production at scale.
- Work on genuinely hard problems: financial data is structured, high-stakes, and unforgiving, making it one of the more interesting domains to apply LLMs to.
- Build the evaluation frameworks and experimentation loops that turn good models into reliable, production-grade systems.
- Partner directly with product and domain experts to push the frontier of what AI can do inside an ERP, not just what's been done before.

## Who We're Looking For

- 3+ years in a technical role with a strong foundation in **backend systems**, **APIs**, and **cloud infrastructure**
- 2+ years shipping production AI systems with real users and real stakes, not research or prototypes
- Hands-on experience with production **LLM applications**: **RAG pipelines**, **agentic systems**, or **structured extraction**
- Proficiency in **Python** and comfort working across the full stack to deliver end-to-end features
- Strong product instincts and a habit of thinking about user impact, not just technical correctness
- Drawn to hard, ambiguous problems and energized by building in an environment where the playbook is still being written

**Bonus Points**
- Background in fintech, ERP, or accounting software
- Experience with **fine-tuning** or training models, not just inference
- Familiarity with **Python**, **Kotlin**, **Java**, or **TypeScript**
- Experience building AI systems that operate on structured financial or transactional data
