About TaxGPT

TaxGPT is revolutionizing the tax and accounting space with AI-driven solutions tailored for accountants, tax professionals, and SMBs. We’re building an AI copilot to transform tax workflows, drive efficiency, and simplify compliance. Recently named one of Business Insider’s 30 Early-Stage Startups Most Likely to Become Tech’s Next Unicorns, we’d love for you to join our growing team.

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.

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and maintain core backend systems using Python, Django, and Django REST Framework
Own application architecture for backend features, including domain modeling, business logic, API design, and integrations
Build reliable, secure, and well-documented APIs used by our frontend and internal services
Write efficient, scalable database queries in PostgreSQL, and improve performance through indexing, query tuning, caching, and thoughtful schema design
Manage database migrations and evolving data models safely in production
Build and maintain asynchronous and background job workflows for longer-running tasks and system processes
Improve system reliability, observability, and operational readiness in collaboration with the broader engineering team
Implement secure authentication, authorization, and data protection patterns appropriate for sensitive financial workflows
Review code, mentor other engineers, and raise the standard for backend quality, testing, and maintainability
Partner closely with product, frontend, and leadership to translate ambiguous requirements into clean technical solutions
Contribute to architectural decisions and help the team balance speed, simplicity, and long-term scalability

What We’re Looking For

7+ years of backend engineering experience, with significant production experience in Python and Django
Deep understanding of Django architecture, including models, views, serializers, middleware, auth, admin, signals, migrations, and application structure
Strong experience with Django REST Framework
Strong experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, indexing, and migration strategy
Experience building and scaling production backend services and complex business logic in growing product environments
Strong understanding of testing and reliability practices, including unit, integration, and API-level testing
Experience with asynchronous systems and background job processing, plus strong backend security fundamentals
Clear communicator who collaborates well across teams and operates effectively in a fast moving startup environment

Nice to Have

Experience with AI/LLM-enabled products or backend systems that support AI workflows
Experience in fintech, tax, accounting, or other regulated domains
Experience scaling Django applications with caching, background workers, performance monitoring and production deployment environments
Experience improving developer experience, code quality, and engineering standards across a backend team

What We Offer

Compensation: $140-160k + Equity + Variable Comp up to 20% of base salary

Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.

Remote-first: Work from anywhere across US, Canada or Mexico.

Ownership & Impact: Direct visibility into leadership, product strategy, and company growth initiatives. Your work directly influences revenue.

Professional Development: Access to top-tier sales training, AI tooling, and development resources including a $350 credit, all to sharpen your craft.

Culture: We’re a high-trust, high-output team. Expect fast feedback loops, real ownership, and cross-functional collaboration.
