About the role

  • As an Accounting Subject-Matter Expert, you will apply your academic and teaching expertise to help advance xAI’s next-generation artificial intelligence systems.
  • You will contribute high-quality accounting analysis, explanations, and evaluations that support the training of AI models on complex accounting concepts.
  • Working in close collaboration with technical and research teams, you will help shape new AI capabilities by evaluating sophisticated accounting scenarios and guiding how models reason through them.
  • You will draw on deep knowledge of financial reporting, consolidations, internal controls, and U.S. GAAP to identify and analyze challenging accounting problems comparable to upper-division or graduate-level coursework.
  • Your input will directly influence how effectively AI systems interpret accounting standards and communicate sound accounting judgments.
  • This role is well suited for faculty who thrive in intellectually dynamic environments and are comfortable engaging with evolving prompts, frameworks, and research objectives.

  • Demonstrated interest in emerging technologies and innovation in accounting education, research, or practice.
  • Demonstrated expertise in corporate financial accounting and reporting, grounded in professional practice within public accounting or SEC-reporting organizations, with experience addressing complex transactions, consolidations, or judgment-intensive accounting matters. (Preferred)
  • Experience authoring or reviewing technical accounting analyses, including research memoranda, disclosure analyses, or case-based materials. (Preferred)
