About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Full Stack Engineer to lead the development of a modern, AI-assisted tax filing platform.
This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role where you'll design system architecture, build scalable backend services, develop intuitive frontend experiences, and ensure every part of the application is accurate, secure, and production-ready.
You'll own features from concept to deployment, working across both frontend and backend while using AI development tools like Cursor and Claude Code to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.
The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex engineering problems, takes ownership of technical decisions, and thrives in environments where data accuracy and reliability are critical.
Responsibilities
Full Stack Development
- Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack applications.
- Develop secure backend services and REST APIs using Python and FastAPI.
- Build responsive, user-friendly frontend interfaces for complex workflows and data entry.
- Integrate frontend applications seamlessly with backend services.
System Architecture & Engineering
- Design application architecture, data models, APIs, and service structures that support long-term scalability.
- Make technical decisions around performance, maintainability, and reliability.
- Refactor and improve existing systems as the platform evolves.
AI-Assisted Development
- Use Cursor and Claude Code as part of your daily development workflow.
- Leverage AI tools to improve productivity, code quality, debugging, and implementation speed.
- Continuously evaluate opportunities to automate development tasks.
Data Validation & Reliability
- Implement robust validation logic, business rules, and error handling.
- Ensure data accuracy across complex workflows and user submissions.
- Build systems that are secure, reliable, and audit-ready.
Testing & Quality
- Write comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
- Identify and resolve bugs before deployment.
- Maintain high code quality through testing, documentation, and code reviews.
Collaboration & Ownership
- Own features from planning through deployment.
- Document technical decisions and communicate progress proactively.
- Work closely with product stakeholders to clarify requirements and deliver scalable solutions.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You enjoy solving complex technical problems from end to end.
- You take ownership of systems rather than simply completing assigned tasks.
- You build clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
- You communicate proactively and work effectively in a remote environment.
- You embrace AI-assisted development as part of your engineering workflow.
- You pay close attention to accuracy, especially when working with business-critical data.
