Founding Engineer (m/f/d)

Your focus will be on taking AI from prototype to reliable production systems — including the evaluation, monitoring, and continuous improvement required to operate AI in high-stakes workflows.

What You'll Work On

• Document Intelligence. Build and operate systems that extract, understand, classify, and process real accounting and tax documents.
• Retrieval & Knowledge Systems. Design and implement RAG and retrieval systems across tax law, internal knowledge bases, client histories, and firm-specific data.
• AI Agents & Automation. Build agentic workflows and AI-driven systems that automate complex, multi-step accounting and tax processes.
• Prediction & Suggestions. Develop systems for use cases such as booking proposals, anomaly detection, classification, and intelligent recommendations.
• Data Infrastructure. Build and maintain the data pipelines and infrastructure required to power reliable AI and ML workflows.
• Evaluation & Reliability. Design evals, monitoring, observability, and feedback loops to understand system performance and failure modes in production.
• Production Systems. Take AI capabilities from experimentation through deployment and continuously improve them based on real-world performance.
• Domain Collaboration. Work closely with engineers, operators, and tax professionals to translate complex workflows and domain knowledge into AI-driven solutions.

Your Profile

• You are a strong builder. You have shipped ML-, LLM-, or AI-based systems into real production environments and are comfortable owning what you build end to end.
• You have high agency. You take technical problems from exploration and system design through production deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• You are AI-native. You have hands-on experience with LLMs, retrieval systems, AI agents, or related technologies and understand where AI works, where it fails, and where deterministic systems or human oversight are needed.
• You think like an engineer. You build clean, maintainable systems and treat reliability, testing, observability, evaluation, and failure modes as part of the product.
• You have strong product intuition. You care about why you're building something, not just how, and turn ambiguous, real-world problems and messy data into pragmatic technical solutions.

Why Limetax

• Real production data. Work with transactions, documents, client histories, and domain knowledge from real tax firms — not synthetic demos.
• Immediate operational impact. Build AI systems that directly change how accounting and tax work gets done.
• AI in real-world workflows. Solve problems where reliability, accuracy, and human-AI collaboration actually matter.
• End-to-end ownership. Take systems from experimentation and evaluation through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Unique environment for applied AI. Combine proprietary technology with direct access to the firms, workflows, users, and data where your systems are deployed.
• Build at an early stage. Help shape the AI architecture, engineering practices, and systems that will define how Limetax scales.
• Meaningful upside. Competitive cash compensation plus meaningful equity.
