We're looking for an accounting/audit professional who can operate across three fronts at once: bringing clients onto our platform and making them successful, executing the verification and audit procedures that keep our work defensible, and partnering with engineering and product to turn what you know into AI systems that meet professional and regulatory expectations.\nThis isn't a traditional audit role. You won't spend your days grinding through workpapers in isolation. You'll be the connective tissue between clients, the audit work itself, and the product being built to scale it - reviewing outputs, validating documentation, identifying gaps, and shaping the workflows and prompts that let AI do audit work well.\nThis is an early employee role at a startup. Expect to take on a wide range of tasks, some outside your core expertise. We're looking for problem solvers who get energized by hard, ambiguous challenges and push through them rather than waiting for a clean brief.\nResponsibilities\nClient onboarding & customer success\nOnboard new clients onto the Oath platform, guiding them through setup, workflows, and first engagements.\n\nServe as a trusted point of contact for clients on methodology questions and platform usage.\n\nHelp clients interpret AI-generated work product and build confidence in the platform over time.\n\nIdentify friction in the onboarding experience and feed it back into product improvements.\n\nVerification & audit procedure execution\nExecute verification and audit procedures directly, ensuring engagements meet professional standards.\n\nReview and validate AI-generated audit procedures, workpapers, and documentation for accuracy and completeness.\n\nIdentify gaps, errors, inconsistencies, and edge cases in AI-generated audit outputs before they reach clients.\n\nTrack professional standards (GAAS, PCAOB, IAASB) and ensure both your work and AI outputs stay current with them.\n\nBuilding AI-driven solutions with engineering & product\nPartner closely with engineering and product to translate audit expertise into AI accuracy, reliability, and audit-awareness - you're a primary source of ground truth for the model.\n\nBuild quality review frameworks, checklists, and methodologies purpose-built for AI-assisted audits.\n\nEstablish continuous feedback loops so AI performance improves with every engagement.\n\nDocument best practices and build out our internal knowledge base as the team scales.\n\nQualifications\n2-6 years of audit or related experience with a foundation in audit methodology.\n\nGeneral familiarity with the audit process or related functions such as IT audits and financial management.\n\nExperience applying that background outside a traditional audit environment (industry, consulting, innovation roles, etc.).\n\nStrong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail - you catch what others miss.\n\nComfort working with technology, AI tools, and iterative, fast-changing workflows.\n\nExcellent written communication; you can document a judgment call so someone else can follow your reasoning.\n\nStrong client-facing skills - comfortable onboarding clients, fielding questions, and building trust directly.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nHands-on experience using AI tools to improve audit or analytical work.\n\nStrong, well-reasoned opinions about inefficiencies or gaps in traditional audit practice.\n\nA track record of designing processes, templates, checklists, or systems that others actually adopted.\n\nExperience in a startup or other fast-paced, unstructured environment.\n\nCompensation & Work Environment\nSalary plus equity.\n\nFully remote, with flexibility on how and when you work.\n\nHigh ownership and direct influence over product, methodology, and the future of audit automation - your judgment calls become the system's judgment calls.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3865,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Audit & Assurance Firms"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T14:54:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.309,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":82,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-08T05:49:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/oath-accounting-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/oath-accounting-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T03:31:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2326,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2674,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3787487},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3787487"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foath-accounting-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Foath-accounting-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Foath-accounting-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/oath-accounting-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foath-accounting-engineer"}]}
