Full-Stack Software Engineer - Readiness

About the role

Full-Stack Readiness Software Engineer - Build AI products that are ready to scale!

Soraban is a Series A company building the AI operating layer for tax preparation. Its platform helps CPA firms automate client data collection, document workflows, tax preparation, and delivery.

What is a Readiness Engineer?

Soraban separates product development into two complementary roles:

- Discovery Engineers prototype, test, and validate new ideas.

- Readiness Engineers turn those validated ideas into scalable production systems.

You will own the architecture, data models, performance, security, reliability, and product polish required to make those systems work for real customers at scale.

This is not maintenance work. It is the engineering discipline that turns a working prototype into a dependable product.

Productionize new products

Take working MVPs and build the production version.

You will focus on:

- Application architecture

- Data modeling

- APIs and backend services

- Background jobs and asynchronous workflows
