ReadMeFull Time
Junior (1 to 2 years)
Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners specifically within cybersecurity, privacy, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.
We’re based in San Francisco, CA, but built as a remote-first company that enables you to do your best work from anywhere. We're backed by top investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.
We value diversity — in backgrounds and in 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 that we are building, seeking teammates that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.
As an early stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build out the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them better work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.
As the Senior Engineering Manager for our Infrastructure Platform team, you will lead the group responsible for Fieldguide’s core platform infrastructure. This team is accountable for the stability, resiliency, security, and performance of the underlying systems that power Fieldguide’s cloud platform.
You will report to the Head of Engineering and manage a team of 3–8 engineers (initially 3), including infrastructure, platform, and SRE engineers. Your mission is to translate the high-level strategy provided by senior leadership into an actionable roadmap and concrete goals for your team, driving execution quarter-to-quarter.
This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role focused on engineering execution and team development – it is internally focused rather than involving external customer negotiations or sales responsibilities. We operate a remote-first culture with the option to work from our San Francisco office, so you can be based anywhere (with occasional travel for team offsites or meetings as needed).
Our tech stack includes modern cloud and DevOps technologies: Fieldguide’s platform runs on TypeScript and Python services, with Kubernetes on AWS for orchestration, and everything defined in code via Terraform and automated through CI/CD pipelines. A strong technical background in this domain will be essential for guiding the team and making informed decisions.
You will work closely with other engineering teams and leadership to ensure our infrastructure scales reliably and our developers have a best-in-class experience building on the platform. This role is ideal for an experienced engineering manager who enjoys shaping engineering practices, improving systems at scale, and mentoring a team – all within a fast-paced startup environment where infrastructure excellence is critical to company success.
