The job description

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).
