Full Job Description
WHO IS AIWYN AND WHAT DO WE DO? Aiwyn is the first complete platform for modern Accounting Firms. Backed by top-tier investors like Bessemer, KKR, and Revolution, we're one of the fastest-growing scale-up SaaS companies in the world. We build category-defining technology, and we're doing it with world-class people, processes, and products. To learn more, visit our website https://aiwyn.ai/ We work with the majority of the Top 500 firms in the country. We're replacing 40-year-old tax engines and brittle integrations with software accounting firms can actually trust, and we have rare product-market fit in an industry that's about to change permanently. We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team that owns our tax engine: the calculation core that's already filed over a million returns and is now the wedge that lets us own the entire return end to end. THE ROLE The tax engine is one of the most strategic pieces of IP at Aiwyn. Owning it is the difference between running the entire return pipeline (preparation, calculation, e-file, delivery) and playing nice with the incumbents forever. It's also the foundation we're opening up to AI labs and modern firms who want a tax engine they can actually build on top of. You'll lead the engineering team behind this work. A team of engineers today, headcount growing, partnering closely with a PM and a deeply tenured group of CPAs and tax experts on this team who set the bar for what "correct" means. DAY-TO-DAY When this team is doing its job, two things should be true: - The engine is best in the industry, and increasingly open. We built TaxCalcBench https://github.com/column-tax/tax-calc-bench, which has become how the AI labs measure their frontier models on tax calculation, and the takeaway is that even the best ones can't calculate a return reliably on their own. That's why Anthropic came to us to ship Aiwyn Tax as a Claude Connector https://www.aiwyn.ai/resources/articles/aiwyn-claude-helping-firms-navigate-the-ai-fu
