About TaxGPT

TaxGPT is building the next generation of AI-powered tools for accounting professionals. Our product helps accountants save time and improve accuracy, and we’re just getting started. We’ve raised $4.6M in funding and are expanding our team with a remote Tech Lead based in Canada.

This is a fully remote role. You’ll collaborate closely with our U.S.-based product and engineering teams, contributing to architectural decisions, writing production-grade code, and scaling our core infrastructure.
Note: Occasional travel to our San Francisco HQ may be requested for team planning, collaboration, or major product milestones.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Architect and build scalable backend and infrastructure systems
  • Write high-quality code across our core stack: Python, Go, and TypeScript
  • Lead and maintain our CI/CD pipelines and broader DevOps practices
  • Optimize build and deployment workflows for reliability and performance
  • Surface and resolve infrastructure and database performance bottlenecks
  • Run sprint planning and standups in collaboration with in-office and remote teams
  • Perform daily code reviews, provide mentorship, and support junior engineers
  • Communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders across time zones

You’re Right for This If You:

  • Have scaled systems to serve millions of users with high uptime
  • Bring a strong understanding of CI/CD workflows and tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
  • Have experience building and optimizing DevOps and deployment pipelines
  • Are comfortable with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Work well in distributed environments and communicate clearly across remote teams
  • Are fluent in Python, Go, and TypeScript
  • Know how to work with both microservices and monoliths
  • Enjoy mentoring others and contributing to team culture and collaboration

What Makes This Role Unique

  • You’ll lead technical direction while working remotely from Canada
  • High autonomy and direct access to company leadership
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration with a U.S.-based team, supported by occasional travel
  • A chance to shape an early product that’s gaining traction in a massive industry

Benefits

  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Generous PTO
  • Remote work support
