Responsibilities

• 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 and 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

Requirements

• You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, we are from around the world, but we work in English.
• You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and do the right thing that serves your customers.
• You’re a builder at heart; you like the opportunity of having tons of exposure, making things work for a company long term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude toward anything that comes your way.
• You are either eager to learn or comfortable scaling and operating large-scale microservices in high-growth environments.
• You are proficient in a couple of languages; most of our current codebase is in node.js with Typescript and Go on the backend. We use ReactJS on the front end, but we are not married to any tools; we see them as a means to an end.
• You like to keep your house tidy and clean, and you just can't leave code not covered with a test. Or a feature undelivered. Or dead code rotting in production.
• You ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step.
• You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are ok with finding the data yourself when it’s missing.
• You are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also satisfied with challenging the status quo and pushing for change.
• You want to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high-growth startup.
