Alignerr is building a dataset of expert tasks that train and evaluate advanced AI agents on real enterprise work. As a Task Author for the Finance / Accounting role, you will design and calibrate accounting reconciliation tasks with numerically verifiable answers — billing versus revenue, payments to invoices, margin reports — that genuinely challenge a capable AI agent while remaining objectively scorable.
Key Responsibilities
- Author realistic task prompts centered on accounting reconciliation: matching payments to invoices, reconciling billing against recognized revenue, and analyzing margin reports.
- Write scoring rubrics that specify exact numerical outcomes and the reasoning steps required to reach them.
- Set up task environments with the financial data, documents, and system states needed to replicate a realistic accounting scenario.
- Solve each task yourself to validate that the numbers work and the rubric is correct.
- Calibrate task difficulty — adjust data complexity, ambiguity in source documents, or required reasoning steps until the task reliably challenges the model to the intended degree.
- Review and correct AI-drafted task prompts or rubrics when provided.
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience as an accountant, finance analyst, or in a closely related role.
- Strong, precise numerical reasoning and demonstrated ability to work through multi-step reconciliation problems.
- Solid knowledge of revenue recognition principles, matching rules, and standard accounting workflows.
- Ability to define verifiable correctness criteria — exact figures, reconciled balances, or documented variance explanations.
- Comfortable working with financial documents, spreadsheets, and accounting system outputs.
- Iterative mindset: willing to test and refine tasks until difficulty and gradability are both right.
Nice to Have
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or enterprise B2B finance environments.
- Familiarity with ERP or accounting platforms (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks Enterprise).
