Containerization for goods. SWIFT for money. Stripe for payments. Compliance is one of the last and largest — and the hardest, because trade rules aren&#39;t data to be looked up. They&#39;re a complex adaptive system with 190+ sovereign jurisdictions, in different languages, changing constantly, reacting to each other.\\n\\n## THE ROLE\\n\\nYou&#39;ll lead development of TRAM, our proprietary AI reasoning model that reads and interprets global trade law. This isn&#39;t a lookup problem, it&#39;s a reasoning problem — and it only became solvable with LLMs. You&#39;ll build the data pipelines that ingest legal sources, the model stack that produces structured evidence, the evaluation frameworks that measure accuracy, and the fine-tuning loops that improve performance. The unusual constraint: you need speed, scale, correctness, and robustness simultaneously — at millisecond latency, zero downtime, heading toward billions of transactions where a single error costs a customer $20K.\\n\\n## WHAT YOU&#39;LL DO\\n\\n_Within weeks:_\\n\\n- Lead development of new features aimed at increasing TRAM’s test-time accuracy\\n\\n- Work on the underlying data and retrieval pipelines that help power our AI workflows\\n\\n- Work directly with our internal tax experts to understand how TRAM can better reason like them\\n\\n_Within months:_\\n\\n- Own TRAM’s eval framework and workflows\\n\\n- Work directly with leading frontier labs to reinforce fine tune models on our proprietary data\\n\\n## REQUIREMENTS\\n\\n- Prior experience building AI enabled products, particularly RAG systems\\n\\n- Experience fine tuning base models, ideally via RFT\\n\\n- Willingness to dive into tax technical problems - if you aren’t willing to dive deep on how the model should reason through the tax research process you won’t be effective\\n\\n- A strong understanding of how LLMs and reasoning models function\\n\\n## NICE TO HAVES\\n\\n- Experience working with LLMs on legal applications\\n\\n- Experience with RAG data pipelines and collecting/curating data for the pipeline\\n\\n## WHO YOU ARE\\n\\n_You&#39;ll thrive here if:_\\n\\n- <strong>You&#39;re a Dog.</strong> You&#39;ve been underestimated, gone through struggle, and never stopped running. You have a chip on your shoulder and enormous drive. You look at Stripe, Deel, and Flexport all punting on compliance and think: _good, that means the opportunity is ours._ Hunger beats pedigree.\\n\\n- <strong>Early stage is in your bones.</strong> You&#39;ve built things where there&#39;s no playbook and nobody handing you the answer. You define the problem instead of waiting for instructions.\\n\\n- <strong>You own it end to end.</strong> Give you a goal and you figure out your own path. Small team, global surface area — everyone owns a domain that would be a full team at a larger company. No one tells you how.\\n\\n- <strong>You believe speed and accuracy are both possible.</strong> We&#39;re building a complex product that requires robustness and 100% uptime, and we have to build at our customers&#39; pace. Move fast. Don&#39;t break things. Both.\\n\\n- <strong>Being in the room is a feature, not a cost.</strong> Five days in SF isn&#39;t a policy, it&#39;s how the work gets done. The speed and density of collaboration we need doesn&#39;t survive over video.\\n\\n_This won&#39;t be a fit if:_\\n\\n- You need structure handed to you or ambiguity feels draining rather than motivating\\n\\n- You want to manage people more than own hard problems (we&#39;re a flat, experienced team — everyone builds)\\n\\n- You&#39;re used to &quot;good enough&quot; shipping (small errors have outsized impact here)\\n\\n- Being in the room five days a week feels like a cost instead of a benefit</strong></p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;font-size:13px;color:#666;\">XML job scraping automation by <a href=\"https://yubhub.co\">YubHub</a></p>","url":"https://yubhub.co/jobs/job_d0a30328-204","directApply":true,"hiringOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Sphere","sameAs":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com","logo":"https://logos.yubhub.co/sphere.com.png"},"x-apply-url":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/sphere/4e3c5943-bd07-4ce1-8e13-68b00221d0b7","x-work-arrangement":"On-site","x-experience-level":"senior","x-job-type":"Full time","x-salary-range":"$250K – $300K • Offers Equity","x-skills-required":["AI","RAG systems","LLMs","Reasoning models","Data pipelines"," rarity"],"x-skills-preferred":["Experience working with LLMs on legal applications","Experience with RAG data pipelines and collecting/curating data for the pipeline"],"datePosted":"2026-03-08T21:42:28.970Z","jobLocation":{"@type":"Place","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"San Francisco HQ"}},"employmentType":"FULL_TIME","occupationalCategory":"Engineering","industry":"Technology","skills":"AI, RAG systems, LLMs, Reasoning models, Data pipelines,  rarity, Experience working with LLMs on legal applications, Experience with RAG data pipelines and collecting/curating data for the pipeline","baseSalary":{"@type":"MonetaryAmount","currency":"USD","value":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":250000,"maxValue":300000,"unitText":"YEAR"}}}]}
