## Job description

### **About Numeral:**

-   Numeral is transforming how taxes get done. Digital businesses are currently bogged down by a painful web of regulations across 47 states and 50+ countries. We’re eliminating this burden so teams can focus on their core mission.
-   We’re the largest and fastest growing AI-native tax solution. Started in 2023, Numeral has raised over $57M from Benchmark, Mayfield, Y-Combinator, and many others. We now serve over 2,500 paying customers and have more than tripled our revenue every year in our history.
-   We’re primarily hiring in our SF and NY offices, but do hire remotely in some cases

### **About the role:**

We’re looking for a **foundational Full-Stack Engineer** who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building complex distributed systems, and wants to define foundational architecture in a fast-growing early-stage startup. You’ll lead the design and implementation of APIs, services, and infrastructure that underpin our platform. You’ll also help drive engineering strategy, product execution, and cultural foundations alongside leadership.

### **What you’ll do**

-   Design and build scalable, secure backend services and APIs from scratch.
-   Make architectural decisions that optimize for speed, data integrity, and long-term maintainability.
-   Collaborate closely with product, design, and data teams to develop performant systems that power key customer workflows.
-   Own infrastructure, observability, and performance for the services you build.
-   Help shape engineering best practices, code quality, and our overall backend culture.

### **What you'll bring:**

-   7+ years of experience building backend systems in high-growth environments.
-   Fluency with backend technologies like Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud services (AWS preferred).
-   Experience designing robust APIs and distributed systems at scale.
-   Strong product sensibility—able to balance performance, flexibility, and speed.
-   Startup mindset: Not scared of ambiguity and hungry for rapid growth
-   Intensity & Ownership: This is not a 9-5 — we’re scaling rapidly and have a massive opportunity ahead of us.
-   Customer Obsession: You deeply care about the user experience and solving their problems

### **Even better:**

-   Experience in payments, tax, accounting, or regulatory tech.
-   Infrastructure or platform engineering background (e.g., CI/CD, observability).
-   Experience scaling monolith-to-service architectures or event-driven systems.
-   Familiarity with GraphQL, Kafka, Terraform, or container orchestration tools.

### **What we offer:**

-   Competitive salary and equity - you'll share directly in the company's success
-   Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
-   Wellness perks like Headspace and the Peloton One App
-   401(k) to help you build long-term financial security
-   Lunch and snacks when you're in the office
-   Regular team offsites and company events as we grow
-   A culture built on ownership - your work matters and people will see it!
