We are looking for a
Staff Software Engineer
to help us build and evolve the core backend systems that power our next-generation tax platform. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of
high-scale backend engineering , and
language runtime integration .
You will work on the systems that underpin our business-critical tax calculation engines, contributing to the scalability, reliability, and performance of services that support critical tax logic execution.
What you'll bring
10+ years of professional experience in backend or systems-level software development. Proven experience building scalable, distributed backend systems in production environments. Strong programming skills in Java, C# and/or C++. Low-level experience with JVM, CLR, or other language runtime environments. Solid understanding of performance optimization, multithreading, memory management, and networking. Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines, observability tools, and DevOps best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
Exposure to compiler or interpreter internals is a plus, but not required. Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms. Knowledge of language tooling, custom DSLs, or domain-specific platforms is a bonus. Strong communication skills and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset.
How you will lead
Design, build, and scale backend systems that support our tax development language and runtime. Contribute to the modernization and integration of legacy systems with modern runtimes (e.g., JVM, CLR). Implement performance-critical components using Java and C++ in a distributed, service-oriented architecture. Collaborate with compiler/runtime engineers and AI/ML teams to support intelligent language tooling. Ensure system reliability, observability, and operational excellence in production environments. Write clean, well-tested code and participate in design and code reviews. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical growth of the team. Seniority level
