About Caribou

International tax is a rigged system. Tax rules get ever more complicated, compliance gets more expensive, and the Big Four controls the expertise. They charge fees that only giant companies can afford, while smaller businesses are left flying blind.

Caribou is a tax platform designed to make international tax accessible to every global business. We’re fixing Transfer Pricing first, where one million businesses are in need, but only ten thousand experts exist.

Our backers include Y Combinator, Accel, Lakestar and angel investors who were founders or executives of leading companies in London and San Francisco.

About the Role

We’re looking for a resourceful and proactive individual to join our talent dense team. In this role, you’ll work closely with our CTO and domain experts to turn business needs into clear technical requirements.

You’ll bring excellent communication skills, a curiosity to learn, and the ability to think from first principles. You’ve worked directly with users before and know how to uncover what’s needed. You’re confident working independently but also know when to collaborate to keep things moving.

In this role, you will
  • Fully own our full-stack monorepo to ensure that the engineering team can maintain velocity while scaling.

  • Design, develop and maintain our customer-facing app and internal backoffice tool.

  • Discuss requirements directly with our tax team to vertically design new features from frontend to backend and everything in between.

  • Drive architectural decisions and optimise efficiency across the tech stack.

  • Collaborate with other engineers as well as non-technical colleagues.

  • Keep a keen eye on the customer experience to proactively raise issues and deploy fixes.

  • Ship new features and fixes quickly.

  • Play a leadership role by consistently innovating and developing a culture of excellence.

  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

  • 5+ years writing production-ready code for frontend as well as backend.

    • React (Typescript) + Golang

  • 5+ years writing SQL (Postgres) for query optimisation, migrations and analysis.

  • Experience with serverless applications, containerisation (e.g. Docker) and CI/CD.

  • Experience in managing cloud services like Google Cloud and AWS.


Bonus points
  • Startup experience.

  • Data science / analyst experience - turning big data into meaningful insights.

  • Experience building machine learning systems with LLMs, RAGs utilising embeddings.

Technology
