Software Engineer, AI

We're looking for early team members to help us untangle the intersection of American industry, climate, and the economy. The opportunity Ambrook is building a world-class team to empower farmers, ranchers, and small-business owners using modern AI tools. You'll shape how we use LLMs and intelligent systems to make messy, high-stakes financial workflows faster, smarter, and more accessible for users across the country.

We're shipping features across the financial landscape, from better receipt parsing and review to auto-categorization to intelligent conversational AI features that let people get a deeper understanding of their books and their business with fewer clicks. We've got a big vision of making AI work for real family businesses, not just mega-corps.

If you're interested in building with us, let's talk. We're looking for someone who we can count on to... - Own: Development of intelligent systems and tools that use LLMs, NLP, and heuristics to streamline bookkeeping, inbox triage, and financial workflows. - Teach: Best practices around ML system design, evaluation, prompt engineering, and scalable AI infrastructure. - Learn: How messy real world financial data really is - from scanned PDFs to unformatted CSVs to text-heavy emails - and how to make sense of it using language models. - Improve: Our internal tooling and infrastructure for classification, tagging, summarization, and user-in-the-loop AI systems.

Within 1 month you'll... - Build and ship a feature powered by an LLM - e.g., parsing a new type of paper document, or categorizing financial transactions. - Review our current uses of AI and write up a note identifying where AI could meaningfully improve automation and accuracy. - Collaborate with product and engineering to understand customer workflows and where AI would reduce manual pain.

Within 3 months you'll... - Establish early foundations for evaluation pipelines, prompt management, and feedback loops to improve LLM performance over time. - Implement or improve systems for document extraction and financial transaction tagging, using both heuristics and model-based approaches. - Collaborate closely with design and product to make AI features feel reliable, intuitive, and helpful, not mysterious or brittle.

Within 6 months you'll... - Architect and scale systems for automated bookkeeping and analysis using hybrid AI + rule-based systems. - Contribute to our long-term AI strategy: which tasks to automate, how to measure confidence, and when to keep a human in the loop. - Help build internal tooling for prompt iteration, embedding search, labeling, and retraining. - Share learnings in a post on Ambrook Research or an open-source tool that helps others tackle similar messy real-world data problems.

About you - You've built and shipped ML/AI-driven features, ideally with LLMs, in a product that's in production, not just in a notebook. - You're excited to apply language models to real-world, unstructured, often ugly datasets, and turn them into valuable product experiences. - You're pragmatic about AI: you know when to use an LLM, when to write a regular expression, and when to ask the user. - Bonus : Experience working with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, embeddings, vector search, or fine-tuning. - Bonus : You've worked on products involving transactions, finance, document processing, or communications tooling. - Bonus : Experience with Typescript, React, and Python-based ML tooling (LangChain, OpenAI SDK, Pinecone, etc.).

Our Tech Stack - Next.js / React application written in Typescript - Hosted on Google Cloud - Firestore & Google Cloud Storage for data storage - BigQuery & Data Studio for data insights Values - Real Talk - We create space for ourselves and others to be straightforward, vulnerable, and accountable. - Reach Understanding - We are driven by curiosity and empathy to learn about our customers, team, and world. - Be Proactively Resourceful - We are internally motivated and externally empowered to identify opportunities and solve problems. - Derisk Thoughtfully - We lean into the biggest risks we face as a company and put in the work to address them systematically. - Find the Positive-Sum - We believe in creating incentive structures that align the needs of our company, our customers, and our planet. - Ambrook is an equal opportunity employer.

We are committed to building diversity and inclusion into our core company culture.
