We’re looking for a senior product engineer to operate as a technical leader within Caribou — someone who can own major parts of the product and help shape both what we build and how we build it.
This is not a typical engineering role. You’ll act as a de facto technical co-pilot to the founders: driving architecture, shaping product direction, and translating ambiguous business problems into high-quality, scalable solutions.
You should be a highly experienced full-stack engineer with strong product instincts, a track record of building from 0→1, and the ability to operate with very high autonomy. You’re comfortable working solo when needed — across engineering, product, and design — and care deeply about craft and user experience.
With the rapid evolution of AI and LLMs, you’re expected to be at the frontier: leveraging new tools, paradigms, and techniques to move faster and build better products.
You’ll work directly with the founders and operate at the intersection of engineering, product, AI, and design — turning complex, ambiguous problems into elegant, customer-facing solutions.
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.
Caribou is the full-stack transfer pricing platform for “micro-multinationals.” Built for the next generation of global startups, Caribou brings together automation, compliance, and deep tax intelligence to solve one of the most complex problems in finance: transfer pricing.
With our AI-powered functional analysis, Caribou structures the messy mix of tax, law, and accounting data automatically—delivering near-perfect tax advice. The result: startups expand internationally faster, unlock trapped cash, and stay fully compliant without the need for costly consultants.
From YC companies to high-growth scale-ups, businesses choose Caribou to eliminate compliance risk, reclaim R&D incentives, and achieve a 5-10x ROI—turning transfer pricing from a burden into a growth advantage.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
