- Build and own features end-to-end across our full-stack platform (Vue.js/Nuxt frontend, Go backend)
- Work closely with product and design to ship user-facing features
- Develop and maintain tax calculation engines and e-filing infrastructure
- Collaborate with a distributed engineering team across SF and India
What We Are Looking For

- Strong proficiency in Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages
- Experience with modern frontend frameworks (Vue.js, React, or similar)
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and CI/CD
- Product-minded — you care about the user experience, not just the code
- Ability to work onsite in San Francisco
