Requirements and responsibilities

Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a team of engineers across one or more product areas — setting direction, unblocking work, and raising the bar
  • Own complex, enterprise-scale technical problems end to end — from architecture decisions to production
  • Partner with the CTO to define engineering processes, hiring standards, and team structure as we grow
  • Drive technical decisions across the stack with a bias for pragmatism and long-term scalability
  • Actively recruit, onboard, and develop engineers on your team
  • Work directly with product and founders to translate business needs into technical roadmap

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of engineering experience with a track record of leading or managing high-performing teams
  • Experience owning complex, enterprise-grade technical systems end to end
  • Strong full-stack background with depth in TypeScript, Node.js, and React
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the problems are not yet defined
  • Low-ego, high-ownership mindset — you lead by doing, not by delegating

Bonus Points

  • Experience building AI or agentic products
  • Background in tax, legal, fintech, or another highly regulated domain
  • Experience scaling an engineering team from small to mid-size

Tech We Use

  • Frontend: React, Remix (React Router)
  • Backend: TypeScript, Node.js (Fastify), Postgres, Weaviate
  • Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Airflow
  • Observability: Grafana, OpenTelemetry

Why Join Us?

  • Own the technical direction of a product solving one of the most complex, high-stakes workflows in a $500B+ industry
  • Build and lead a team from the ground up alongside a CTO who values autonomy and trusts you to operate independently
  • Work on genuinely unsolved problems — agentic AI applied to tax is a new frontier
  • Highly competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
