New York Office$150k - $225kFull-timePosted 5mo ago
About the role
Intelligence Architects build coherent systems that construct agents’ intelligence from disparate information, authoring context, procedures, skills, and system prompts to enable autonomous real accounting work at Basis.
Responsibilities
- Architecting and authoring our agents' context. You decide what context our agents need, how it's structured, and what each layer says. You write the procedures, skills, and system prompts they consume.
- Setting the standards. Ensuring consistency across our agents is your primary mission. You define how procedures should be written, what makes a skill document load-bearing, when context is ready to ship.
- Signal to action. You watch the agents at work. When their output isn't good enough, you’ll define what's missing in the context and solve it. The measurement work is shared with product and eval teams; the writing work is yours.
- Shaping what comes next. Your perspective informs what we build next; you see across today’s agents and future possibilities, informing product decisions about surfaces and capabilities.
Qualifications
- Writing as a craft. You treat language as load-bearing and have excellent taste.
- Reasoning about systems. You understand how parts contribute to the whole and diagnose systemic causes rather than isolated failures.
- Working from causes, not effects. You seek to know what caused improvements and which layer enabled the change.
- Drawn to the frontier. You thrive on questions without textbook answers.
- Motivation by learning. You build accurate mental models of new fields quickly and communicate with both accountants and engineers.
- Comfort in ambiguity. You accept that there are often no right answers and treat your writing as binding.
- Holding many things at once. You manage user problems, agent behavior, procedure language, and success measures concurrently.
