We're working on fixing that. Our intuitive app enables anyone, regardless of education or background, to file their taxes with newfound confidence.\nSpread across Germany, Spain and the UK, the team at Taxfix Group with its brands Taxfix and Steuerbot, is a compassionate group of solution-finders. We speak our minds openly, and with over 400 professionals, including tax experts, developers, and IT security experts, we're rich in ideas and voices. The group has facilitated more than 3.5 billion euros in tax refunds for its customers since its founding in 2016.\nThe opportunity :\nAs a (Senior) Software Engineer, you’ll build core features for our flagship product, turning complex tax scenarios into simple, reliable experiences. You’ll bring a builder-first mindset: staying close to customer problems, using AI and modern engineering tools to move from idea to impact quickly, and taking ownership of outcomes-not just code.\nYou’ll work hands-on in a cross-functional team and bring deep expertise in either frontend or backend engineering, while collaborating effectively across the stack. You’ll help us raise the bar for scalable design, quality, maintainability, and AI-first software development.\nYour responsibilities and decisions:\nPartner with product management, design, and engineering to understand customer problems, shape pragmatic solutions, and deliver measurable outcomes.\n\nOwn work end to end-from discovery and technical design through implementation, release, monitoring, and iteration.\n\nTurn ambiguity into action, make sound trade-offs, and deliver valuable increments without compromising long-term maintainability.\n\nContribute to technical direction and strategy in support of the long-term product vision.\n\nUse AI-assisted development tools in your daily engineering work to accelerate exploration, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation while maintaining high engineering standards.\n\nCritically evaluate, validate, and troubleshoot AI-generated output, using effective prompting and appropriate safeguards rather than accepting results at face value.\n\nShare effective AI-assisted development practices, encourage responsible experimentation, and help teammates improve how they use AI tools.\n\nImprove developer experience through tools, automation, and engineering practices that enable reliable, frequent delivery.\n\nCollaborate across product and platform teams, and contribute to an environment where people learn, grow, give constructive feedback, and raise challenges safely.\n\nYour profile:\nProfessional software engineering experience (React, Node.js) and designing reliable backend services and APIs. Experience with React Native experience is a plus.\n\nAble to work effectively across system boundaries and collaborate with engineers outside your primary specialism.\n\nUse AI-assisted development tools in your daily engineering work to accelerate exploration, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation while maintaining high engineering standards.\n\nAble to evaluate and troubleshoot AI-generated output, use effective prompting where relevant, and share practical learnings with teammates.\n\nExperience working with a public cloud environment such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Microsoft Azure.\n\nFamiliarity with DevOps concepts and practices, including CI/CD, observability, and operating software in production.\n\nUnderstanding of core application and backend concepts such as authentication, databases, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and API integrations.\n\nA builder-first, pragmatic approach: You turn customer problems into shipped outcomes. You take initiative, test and learn quickly, and make clear trade-offs between speed, quality, maintainability, and risk.\n\nPassion for writing maintainable, elegant code and continuously improving how software is built.\n\nA collaborative, positive attitude and a willingness to challenge ideas constructively.\n\nYou have a builder mindset. You thrive in environments where things are still taking shape, take initiative to move ideas forward, and find ways to create impact even when the path isn't fully defined.\n\nYou embrace trying things out over waiting for perfect conditions, ship early to learn fast, and treat iteration as progress.\n\nWhy Taxfix?\nA chance to do meaningful, people-centric work with an international team of passionate professionals.\n\nHolistic well-being with free mental health coaching sessions and yoga.\n\nA monthly allowance to spend on an extensive range of services that you can use and roll over as flexibly as you like.\n\nEmployee stock options for all employees-because everyone deserves to benefit from the success they help to create.\n\n30 annual vacation days and flexible working hours.\n\nWork from abroad for up to six weeks every year. Just align with your team, and then enjoy your trip.\n\nPlenty of opportunities to socialise as a team. In addition to internal tech meetups, our international team hosts regular get-togethers-virtually and in person when possible.\n\nFree tax declaration filing, of course, through the Taxfix app-and internal support for all personal tax-related questions.\n\nHave a four-legged friend in your life? We’re happy to have dogs join us in the office.\n\nExcited? So are we.
