About the company
Our client is a seed-stage consumer fintech company building an AI tax accountant backed by human CPA expertise. Customers reach the service by call, text, chat or email, and staff CPAs review high-impact decisions. The company has raised $7M and is building a year-round financial partnership instead of a once-a-year tax questionnaire.

- Design, build and operate production full-stack features in TypeScript, Node.js and React.
- Own data models, backend services, event flows and user interfaces end to end.
- Build data pipelines and distributed systems as customer usage grows.
- Partner with AI engineers to bring agent workflows into polished product experiences.
