Fieldguide provides an agentic AI-native platform that streamlines audit, advisory, and assurance engagements for regulated professional services firms.
ABOUT US Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets by automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners, specifically in cybersecurity, privacy, and financial audits. Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses. We’re based in San Francisco, CA and we’re backed by top investors, including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more. We value diversity—in backgrounds and experiences. We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life to help build the future of audit and advisory. Fieldguide’s team is inclusive, driven, humble, and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the kind of team and culture we are building, seeking teammates who are not only strong in their own aptitudes, but who also care deeply about supporting each other’s growth. As an early-stage startup employee, you’ll have the opportunity to help build the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by consolidating up to 50% of their work and improving work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you’ll find a home at Fieldguide. ABOUT THE ROLE The Data Science team at Fieldguide builds Fieldguide Insights, a product that delivers new-to-the-industry visibility into audit and advisory execution and performance. We are hiring a Senior Analytics Engineer to own the foundation that Insights runs on: the semantic layer, the pipelines, and the models that make every number we ship reliable and defensible. This is a role for a technical, broad engineer who specializes in analytics. You will define the canonical tables, columns, and metrics behind our customer-facing reports, move production logic into governed dbt, and harden pipelines. Your work is the base that our API and MCP-based analytics expose, so correctness is non-negotiable. You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, App Platform, and Infrastructure. This role is ideal for a polymath who wants to model the business in tables that hold up over time and shape how audit and advisory firms consume analytics. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design and own the Insights semantic layer, establishing canonical definitions for the tables, columns, and metrics behind each report so the numbers we ship are trusted and consistent across the business. - Standardize how we define core metrics, reconcile them across data sources such as Amplitude, and clearly document any variances. - Migrate production report logic into governed, tested, and portable dbt models, strengthening test coverage and reusable macros along the way. - Improve the reliability of business-critical pipelines through proactive monitoring, alerting, and resilience to upstream schema changes. - Partner with customers and internal teams on data quality and new environment launches, including triage, onboarding, and data handling requirements. - Contribute to the design of a Kimball-style dimensional warehouse built to serve both traditional BI and emerging LLM and MCP-based analytics. - Help drive the migration of BI reporting onto the semantic layer, from report inventory and classification through cutover planning. WHO YOU ARE - 4+ years in a modern data stack, with advanced SQL and deep hands-on dbt expertise across modeling, testing, and project structure. - An engineer at heart: you ship production-quality Python, work fluently with version control and CI, and are comfortable diagnosing pipeline failures end to end. - A skilled dimensional modeler (Kimball, slowly changing dimensions) who designs data models built to last as the business evolves. - Analytically fluent, with a strong sense for data quality and the judgment to validate that results are correct, not just computed. - Deep experience with BigQuery and cloud data warehousing, including cost and performance optimization. - A collaborative partner who thrives working across teams, coordinating with Infrastructure and App Platform teams to deliver shared outcomes. - Based in SF and energized by in-person collaboration with our team. BONUS POINTS - A generalist background, with prior time as a data engineer, software engineer, or data scientist on top of the analytics-engineering core. - Experience feeding LLM or AI-native data interfaces (semantic layer, MCP, text-to-SQL guardrails). - BI migration experience (Looker, Omni, Tableau). - A regulated-domain background where correctness is non-negotiable.
