Hello Alice,

I'm Rikin Shah

I saw your post for the AI Engineer role at the SOX audit startup. Building advanced AI agent systems with planning, memory, and fault recovery for production deployments is exactly what I've been doing. I'm ready for high-ownership and want to help transform audits for Fortune 500 companies!

Why I'm a Great Fit

Hands-on experience with AI agent architectures—planning, memory, tool use, and recovery. Strong full-stack development background. Built production systems that handle real workloads. Ready to debug agent failures in live environments and ship improvements fast.

Cover Letter

Alice,

I saw your post for the AI Engineer role at the seed-funded SOX audit startup. Building advanced AI agent systems for production deployments—not just prototypes—is exactly what I've been doing. I'm excited about high-ownership roles where I can influence architecture and product direction.

What I Bring:

AI Agent Architecture:

- Built ReachAI: multi-agent system with planning, memory, and autonomous workflows

- Experience with agent planning, tool use, and fault recovery

- Production-ready architecture, not just demos

Fault-Tolerant Systems:

- MailAlarm runs 24/7 with automated recovery

- IBM Watson project coordinated 4 autonomous agents with fallback handling

- I debug agent failures and edge cases in live environments

Full-Stack Background:

- JobGrid: end-to-end full-stack application in production

- Clean integration and rapid shipping—hours, not weeks

Early-Stage Fit:

- I thrive in fast-scaling environments

- High ownership and direct impact is what I want

- Ready to work with co-founders and shape the product

I'm ready to relocate to San Francisco and work onsite 5 days/week. Let's transform SOX audits together!

Best,

Rikin Shah
