Full-Stack Software Engineer - Readiness

Build security into the product -Soraban handles sensitive taxpayer and financial data, so security is a core engineering requirement.

You will help establish strong patterns around:

• Authentication and authorization
• Input validation
• PII and sensitive-data handling
• Secure data access
• Audit-friendly system design

Own the full product experience

You will also refine React / Next.js experiences to make them polished and trustworthy, including:

• Loading and error states
• Responsive behavior
• Accessibility
• Workflow edge cases
• User interactions

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong backend and systems engineering fundamentals
• Experience designing data models and application architecture
• Strong understanding of query performance, background processing, caching, and scalability
• Experience building and supporting production software
• Security-minded engineering habits
• Ability to work across backend and frontend systems
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to ramp quickly in an existing production codebase

Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, React, and Next.js. Exact language and framework experience is less important than strong engineering judgment.

Nice to Have

• B2B SaaS, fintech, tax, or accounting software experience
• Experience handling sensitive financial or personal data
• SOC 2 or compliance-related engineering experience
• Experience with high-volume or seasonal traffic
• Experience rebuilding or replatforming early-stage products
• Ruby on Rails
• React / Next.js

 Who Thrives Here

You will likely enjoy this role if you naturally notice and fix things like:

• Weak data models
• Missing indexes
• N+1 queries
• Slow APIs
• Brittle background jobs
• Poor error handling
• Security gaps
• UX that technically works but does not feel finished

You like taking something that works and making it faster, safer, more scalable, and more polished.

Why This Role Matters - The systems you build will directly influence:

• How quickly Soraban can launch new products
• How many CPA firms the platform can support
• How reliably the product performs during tax season
• How securely customer data is handled
• How effectively the engineering team can build on the platform
• How much trust customers place in Soraban's AI-powered workflows

This is a high-ownership role on a small engineering team. The technical decisions you make will become part of the foundation the company scales on.
