Job description

Every infrastructure project has to clear environmental compliance before it breaks ground. That work still runs on pen, paper, and billable hours. It is a major blocker for the physical world buildout.

Ama orchestrates agents to complete physical world compliance end-to-end. We work directly with infrastructure leaders (hyperscalers, utilities, banks, federal agencies, etc.) to deliver compliance reports. Our agents do in minutes what typically takes the industry weeks or months.

Ama is venture-backed and making a positive impact on society by building models that better understand the natural world and the built environment.

About the Role

The Agentic Compliance Engineer (ACE) role lies at the heart of Ama. You run and improve our agent harness, hold its output to a professional standard, and own the reports that go to clients.

What You’ll Do

• Produce reports end to end: Run our agents on Phase I ESAs and other environmental reports, from records intake to final draft.
• Verify everything: Check agent output against source documents, regulatory databases, and the standard. Catch what the model got wrong.
• Make judgment calls: Interpret site history, regulatory records, and site conditions (e.g. determining groundwater flow direction and what it means for a nearby release).
• Own clients and projects: Manage timelines, scope, and communication on your projects.
• Improve the system: Turn every error you catch into a better system and ship the fix yourself using agentic coding tools. You'll work together with engineering.

Who You Are

• You want to work very hard on something that matters. We're transforming an industry, and this is not a 9-to-5.
• You take immense pride in your work and treat every report like it has your name on it.
• You find environmental problems genuinely interesting.
• You are a critical thinker who doesn't trust output, human or machine, until you've checked it yourself.
• You are organized and disciplined. You run a tight project list without being told to.
• You are interested in AI agents, coding, and software, and you're already experimenting with them.

Nice to Have

• Scientific research/lab background in Environmental Sciences
• Meaningful early-stage equity
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
