Founded in 2018 by brothers Shane and Tim Brunette, our mission is to empower people globally to better understand their tax obligations with a self-service tool that simplifies the process of identifying, tracking, and organising crypto transactions.

We are a product-driven company building in a developer-first work environment. We use TypeScript with a MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). This role is for a seasoned, product-focused engineer to join our special projects team, which is tasked with our most critical and time-sensitive initiatives.

The Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Special Projects team, you'll be part of a high-impact, high-visibility group driving the future of our product innovation. This is a rare opportunity to work on our most ambitious and strategic initiatives - from enterprise-scale integrations with tier-one partners to building net-new products that unlock major commercial opportunities.

You'll be operating at the edge of what's possible, solving complex problems in a fast-paced environment where learning quickly and executing with precision are essential. If you thrive on ambiguity, excel under pressure, and are energised by building high-performance solutions with tight feedback loops, this is the team for you.

What You'll Do:

• Rapidly Develop & Deploy:

  Quickly get up to speed on new projects and codebases to write clean, maintainable, and performant code (primarily Node.js & TypeScript) that solves urgent, complex business requirements.

• Execute on Strategic Integrations:

  Own and accelerate the development of critical integrations with key business and enterprise partners.

• Tackle High-Scale Challenges:

  Architect and build solutions capable of handling massive data volumes both horizontally and vertically.

• Drive Commercial Opportunities:

  Collaborate directly with founders and product leads to build and enhance solutions that win major commercial deals and unlock new revenue streams.

• Own Features End-to-End:

  Take full ownership of features from architectural design through to deployment, with a primary focus on backend development and a solid contribution to the frontend.

• High-Impact Collaboration:

  Work in a tight-knit team alongside engineering, design, and product experts with deep domain knowledge to deliver high-quality outcomes against ambitious timelines.

• Mentor & Elevate:

  Share your knowledge and mentor other engineers, helping to build a culture of speed, excellence, and adaptability within the team.

Technical Requirements:

• Minimum Bachelor-level qualification in software engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum 5+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer in a product-focused company.
• Advanced understanding of TypeScript and its application in backend and frontend development.
• Deep expertise in Node.js and its ecosystem. You should be comfortable with advanced concepts such as worker threads, streams, and WebSockets.
• Strong experience with databases, particularly MongoDB, and data-intensive applications.
• Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining scalable APIs and backend services.
• Experience with cloud platforms, especially AWS, is a plus.
• Experience with React for frontend development is a plus.

About You:

  thrive in a high-pressure, deadline-driven environment
