About Us
At ottobooks, we are on a mission to revolutionize the accounting industry with AI-native software that automates routine tasks, allowing accountants to focus on what truly matters. Our company is led by founders with a unique combination of deep domain expertise and technical experience. We are backed by a top-tier seed firm and have design partners who are deeply invested in our mission.
About The Role
We are seeking a Founding Applied AI Engineer to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the founding team and help shape the future of our company. As a founding AI engineer, you will own and help build our AI practice to tackle questions such as:
- How do you create a system that completes tasks in seconds rather than hours?
- How do you scale that system to solve not just one problem, but a multitude of challenges?
- How do you deploy these solutions in a way that hides the complexity from users, making the experience feel magical?
In this role, you'll collaborate with the founders and design partners to transform recent breakthroughs into practical solutions for the accounting industry by evaluating, building, and applying AI to the products we ship. Your key focus areas include OCR, Document Understanding, Named Entity Recognition, and NLP.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with founders and design partners to help build our platform to make it easier to ship AI solutions in the areas we operate in.
- Evaluate open source and proprietary models to set up best-in-practice solutions to everyday problems in accounting.
- Identify and collect metrics to measure and improve the efficacy of models in production.
- Partner with engineers to build effective data pipelines to fine-tune models, collect user feedback, and monitor metrics.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience building AI products, preferably with a focus in NLP.
- 5+ years of programming and software engineering experience (meaningful academic work will also count), preferably in Python.
- Experience maintaining models in production and strong experience in metrics and measurement.
About You
You are obsessed with the latest technologies and are the first to experiment with new releases or understand the latest research. You are a systems thinker who can see beyond the next few moves and design for the future. You are outcome-focused and choose methods and approaches with the end goal in mind. Metrics and measurement drive your behavior. You thrive in ambiguity, experimentation, and continuous learning. You have a strong sense of integrity and are committed to doing the right thing.
