Engineering plays a very central part in the business. As a company with ambitions to be a world-class API solution for all things tax, we value quality over quantity when building, and we care about creating scalable and maintainable software that our customers and daily users can rely on.
Some pointers about our engineering culture: Engineers are given customer problems to solve rather than features to build. We understand the customer's needs before considering implementation details. Engineers are owners of their past, present and future; architecture, tools, coding, testing, deployment, operations and scaling. We work in lean, small teams.
We co-own the product roadmap with product managers. We choose collaboration, compassion and trust over individualism and politics. We prefer innovation, constant iteration and trust over competition and perfect solutions. We support each other, are kind by nature, and give as much feedback to improve as professionals. We break down complex problems and consistently seek to find the most straightforward solutions. We take quality seriously and factor it into everything we do. We are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines.
We see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle.
We are not satisfied with the status quo and push for change. We seek those looking to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high-growth startup. We ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step. We are data-informed.
And are ok with finding the data when it's missing. What you will do: Learn about how painful it is for companies to handle tax manually, and think about how our products are changing the status quo. Own what you build, with the ability to decide how to make it and the responsibility of operating it in the production environment. Build meaningful products with REST APIs that our customers use and depend on for everyday business (finance, operation, tax and developer teams). Build new product features across the stack, from back-end business logic implementation to front-end customer-facing interfaces. Write high quality robust, modular code for frontend and backend. Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs as well as internal applications capabilities. Record and collate lots of data sets from all these operations for long-term storage and future insight. Use every learning and observation to improve our products, constantly. Understand customer needs and the pain they are experiencing related to tax automation. Understand competitive products. You would be a great fit if: You are fully proficient in English, both written and spoken. You have a strong sense of ownership and care about what you build. You're a builder at heart; you like the opportunity of having tons of exposure. You are eager to learn or comfortable scaling and operating large-scale microservices. You are proficient in a couple of languages; most of our current codebase is in Node.js with Typescript and Go on the backend. You like to keep your code clean and covered with tests. You ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step. You use data over opinions to make decisions. You are comfortable with change and see it as an opportunity. You want to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high-growth startup. Note: If you feel you don't have the whole experience we're looking for but feel you could be a good fit and are willing to learn, do apply anyway!
We are trying to build a diverse and inclusive team.
