Founding Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
Magnetic is hiring a Founding Software Engineer to join our small team. You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining the backend systems that power our AI-driven tax prep platform, including model pipelines, data extraction logic, and integrations with tax software, as well as improving our client-facing touchpoints. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and tax operations to ship features that directly improve speed, accuracy, and reliability for our customers.
What You'll Build
- Vision-Language pipelines that process and extract structured data from unstructured client tax documents, relying on AI models, deterministic rules, and human-in-the-loop corrections.
- Systems to test and improve extraction accuracy on complex tax forms, handwritten notes, brokerage statements, and K-1s.
- Distributed cloud infrastructure to process thousands of client files concurrently across multiple firms and tax seasons.
- Integrations with major tax software systems, file portals, and document management tools.
- Features to improve our own client-facing surface area (intake, output artifacts, review process)
