About TaxGPT

TaxGPT is building AI-powered tools that help accountants do their best work, faster. We’ve raised $4.6M in funding and are growing quickly. We're looking for a Tech Lead who thrives in fast-paced environments, codes daily, and can drive both system architecture and team execution from the ground up.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco—you’ll join us 3 days a week in our 4,000 sq ft office, complete with a gym, pool table, and space designed for deep work and fast collaboration.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Architect and implement scalable infrastructure serving millions of users
  • Write production code across our core stack: Python, Go, and TypeScript
  • Lead the design and improvement of our CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes
  • Identify bottlenecks in infrastructure and application performance—then fix them
  • Perform daily code reviews and uphold best practices in engineering quality
  • Run weekly sprint planning with product and engineering leadership
  • Lead standups and remove blockers to keep the team shipping smoothly
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team growth
  • Collaborate with remote team members to ensure alignment across time zones

You’re Right for This If You:

  • Have scaled systems to millions of users with high uptime and reliability
  • Have deep knowledge of CI/CD systems, and bonus if you’ve worked hands-on with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
  • Know how to optimize build and deployment pipelines for speed and resiliency
  • Have worked with both microservices and monolithic architectures
  • Are fluent in Python, Go, and TypeScript
  • Are comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Have a solid understanding of DevOps tooling and automation
  • Communicate clearly and can lead in both technical design and day-to-day execution

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Hybrid setup with 3 days/week in-office
  • Work from our 4,000 sq ft office with gym, pool table, and plenty of space to build
  • High autonomy, direct access to founders, and a real opportunity to shape the company’s foundation
  • You’ll lead core infrastructure and collaborate with a high-trust, low-ego team

Compensation & Benefits

  • 401(k)
  • Generous PTO
