## Job description

## About Basis

Basis builds real agents that do real work in the real economy. Our agents operate for hours at a time, performing end-to-end work for some of the largest accounting firms in the world.

We recently raised $100M at >$1B valuation and are racing to deploy the most advanced applied ML at production scale.

Our investors include: Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois & Vinod Khosla), Accel (Miles Clements), Google Ventures, Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross, Adam D'Angelo, Jeff Dean, Jack Altman, Noam Brown, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, Clem Delangue and many other operators/technical leaders.

"Basis is on the frontier of building production-grade, long-horizon agents. They've pushed the limits of what we thought our models could do on real-world, economically valuable, complex accounting tasks. They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI

## About Atlas

What does knowledge work look like when we have AGI? Atlas is an internal team at Basis dedicated to finding the answer. We’re a group of builders, former founders, and engineers that embed directly within our teams, so we can build intelligence deeper into their workflows. As models continue to improve, they change how companies are built and how teams operate. Basis is building the first AI-native company at scale. Atlas is responsible for making that possible. We’ve already shipped agent teammates that push code directly to production, systems that keep company knowledge current automatically, and services that diagnose and repair themselves. These systems do real work inside Basis today. Every advance in model capability opens another set of questions about how work should be organized and another set of things we can build. Our ambition is much larger than making each person 10% more productive. We’re building zero-human loops that handle entire jobs end-to-end and free up our team to take on higher level work. Getting there means inventing new infrastructure, interfaces, operating models, and ways for humans and agents to work together. Atlas began when Basis had fewer than forty people. Since then, Basis has raised $100M. Atlas has the resources, access, and mandate to pursue this seriously. Basis intends to grow at extraordinary speed, and doing so requires a fundamentally different operating model—one in which agents take on an increasing share of the work. There is no established playbook for that. Building it is our job. If “What is the future of knowledge work?” is the question you most want to spend the next several years answering—and you want to make the answer real at a fast-growing company—reach out.

## About the Role

Altas FDEs embed with the other teams at Basis, learn their workflows inside and out, and then build agents that offload their work to AI. Unlike most FDE roles, your “customers” are your teammates who are already AI-pilled and eager to work with you to integrate agents further into their work. As an FDE, you will learn the ins-and-outs of the function you embed with and then become the world’s expert in using AI to accomplish that job. If you embed with the engineering team, you will invent the way to build an autonomous software factory. If you embed with our deployed intelligence team, you will become the world’s expert in using AI to manage customer relationships.

Who will excel in this role?

- First principles and systems thinkers. Many of the problems we solve are net new. There's no playbook. We want people who can decompose a novel problem, reason from fundamentals rather than pattern match, and design things that compound.
- Future founders. Atlas FDEs require a mix of agency, customer obsession, product taste, technical skill, and communication ability.
- You have agents running when you sleep. The Atlas team is pushing the boundary of what’s possible in knowledge work. Atlas FDEs enjoy experimentation and incorporate learnings back into team processes.
- Passionate about outcomes. The success of the team you embed with is your success as an Atlas FDE.

Non-negotiables:

- In person in Flatiron, NYC 5 days a week
- Excited about working with coding agents (we give every engineer an unlimited token budget)
- Excited about working at the frontier of applying agents to real economy problems

## Benefits at Basis

We offer a competitive and thoughtful benefits package designed to support your physical, mental, and financial well-being:

- Health & Wellness: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage; Life Insurance; and 6 coaching & 6 therapy sessions through Spring Health.
- Basis will cover 100% of your [Wellhub Gold](https://wellhub.com/en-us/employees/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwy5rUBhB5EiwAIoAtCixehqvud1v9ahoeOFqYnuIiBWAVW73IQK_ysAVP8wl75ukUUW-myBoCDlcQAvD_BwE&utm_campaign=us_b2c_google-search-brand-plans-pricing-wellhub__el_con_ongoing_all_signup_0425&utm_content=181565584554&utm_id=22473088932&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_term=wellhub+gold+plan_801285082537) membership.
