About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep Django expertise to help build and scale the core application layer at TaxGPT. This is a hands-on role for someone who has strong judgment in designing backend systems, writing clean and maintainable Django code, modeling complex business logic, and improving performance, reliability, and security in production systems.
You’ll work closely with product, design, and leadership to ship backend features that power critical workflows for tax professionals. You should be comfortable operating in ambiguity, owning projects end-to-end, and helping shape backend engineering standards as the company scales.
