Software Engineer (Full-Stack), Taxes & Bookkeeping

The self-employed workforce is a rapidly growing, resilient, and colorful 60 million Americans. But self-employment comes with its own set of challenges: navigating taxes, accounting, bookkeeping, and business banking are just a few. That’s where we come in.

Found is building tools that give self-employed people the security and peace of mind that has historically only been possible at big corporations. We’re a business bank account that automates taxes and expense tracking because we believe small business owners should spend more time doing what they love and less time on their business finances.

We’re looking for kind, resourceful, and passionate people to join us in building the safety net for self-employment.

Thanks for your interest in Found! Our engineering team is responsible for taking products from ideation to being used by tens of thousands of users every week.

• Allowing customers to connect and import transactions from other banks or cards.

• Successfully scaling our tax calculation jobs to handle an order of magnitude increase in transaction volume.

• Launching a tap to pay feature for Found customers to accept card payments directly from their mobile devices. 

Day to day, you will:

• Collaborate with other engineers to build and ship both user and internal facing features.

• Work directly with designers and product managers to design and ideate on features.
