## **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!
