Role overview
DOSS is a $55M Series B San Francisco-based company building the Operations Cloud—an AI-native platform designed to replace rigid ERPs. Backed by Madrona and Premji Invest, DOSS enables physical product businesses to manage procurement, inventory, and finance through a unified, real-time data model and intelligent agentic workflows.
What you will do
- Architect and build RAG pipelines, model orchestration, and guardrails to ensure AI responses are grounded in live operational data.
- Develop agentic workflows that safely perform procurement and inventory actions within strict enterprise permissions and auditable guardrails.
- Establish the evaluation and observability infrastructure necessary to measure quality and detect anomalies in non-deterministic AI systems.
Who this is a fit for
- Demonstrated experience shipping and scaling LLM-powered features, agents, or RAG pipelines to production environments, not just prototypes.
- Expert-level hands-on skills with foundation model APIs, tool calling, prompt engineering, and building reliable backend systems using Postgres.
- Pragmatic builder with a 0-to-1 mindset who knows when AI is the right solution and when to stick to traditional engineering.
Why this role is remarkable
- Lead the AI transition for a category stuck in the past, replacing consultant-heavy, legacy ERPs with an adaptable, AI-native platform.
- Join a high-growth startup following a $55M Series B led by top-tier investors like Madrona, Premji Invest, and General Catalyst.
- Own the entire applied AI lifecycle, from technical architecture to shipping production-ready agents that handle mission-critical physical operations.
