The role Imagine building the operating system for autonomous tax: AI that tracks every rule, acts on every obligation, and proves every decision. This company is doing it, helping some of the world's largest digital companies manage complex global tax obligations across 120+ countries. They're scaling rapidly, with strong industry recognition for their modular, AI-driven platform. You'll lead a product engineering team building the scalable systems underpinning this platform.

• Simplify execution and remove roadblocks, focusing on impact over process.
• Shape the broader engineering culture and technical direction alongside other leaders.

What You Bring

• Strong engineering judgment, comfortable guiding technical direction across multiple languages (Go and TypeScript are key).
• A track record of hiring, mentoring, and retaining high-performing product engineers.
• Experience optimizing product development processes for speed and quality, with a bias for simplification.
• Comfort operating and scaling large-scale microservices in high-load, distributed environments.
