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.
More from the 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?

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 [... source excerpt omitted ...] eople 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
