**Numeral** — HQ - San Francisco, CA

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/numeral/85397912-3c70-4384-bd24-34c3f4dc2cbf

## About Numeral

Numeral is the trusted solution for U.S. sales tax, VAT, and GST compliance, used by 3,000+ global businesses, including Eight Sleep, Supabase, and Brex.

Our end-to-end platform keeps our customers compliant wherever they sell, with registrations, filings, calculations, and ongoing compliance support.

Numeral’s AI-native solution covers more than 70 countries and tens of thousands of jurisdictions and is built for accuracy and scale.

## About the role

#### About Numeral:

Numeral is transforming how taxes get done. Digital businesses are currently bogged down by a painful web of regulations across 47 states and 70+ countries. We’re eliminating this burden so teams can focus on their core mission.

We’re the largest and fastest-growing AI-native tax solution. Started in 2023, Numeral has raised over $57M from Benchmark, Mayfield, Y-Combinator, and many others. We now serve over 3,000 paying customers and have more than tripled our revenue every year in our history.

#### About the role:

We’re looking for a **foundational Software Engineer (Infrastructure)** who thrives on solving complex distributed systems problems at scale. You’ll design and build **core infrastructure**, improve **service reliability and observability**, and ensure the platform’s scalability as we handle increasing transaction volumes and integrations.

This is a high-leverage, foundational role: your work will **define the architecture** and **technical direction** of our infrastructure platform while directly impacting our customers’ experience and the company’s trajectory.

#### What you’ll do:

- Design and build highly scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure to support critical APIs, services, and data pipelines.

- Lead infrastructure architecture decisions for performance, observability, and fault tolerance.

- Drive improvements in system reliability, monitoring, and incident response.

- Collaborate closely with product, platform, and data engineering teams to enable rapid feature development without compromising stability.

- Automate infrastructure management through infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration.

- Champion best practices in operational excellence, disaster recovery, and distributed systems design.

#### What you’ll bring:

- 7+ years of experience building and scaling backend or infrastructure systems in high-growth environments.

- Proficiency in Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS (or equivalent cloud platforms).

- Experience managing containerized workloads using tools like Kubernetes, ECS, or similar.

- Expertise in observability tooling (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry) and monitoring pipelines.

- Proven ability to design fault-tolerant, distributed systems at scale.

- Strong debugging and performance optimization skills across the stack.

- Exceptional collaboration and communication skills, with experience partnering cross-functionally.

- Startup mindset: Not scared of ambiguity and hungry for rapid growth

- Intensity & Ownership: This is not a 9-5 — we’re scaling rapidly and have a massive opportunity ahead of us.

- Customer Obsession: You deeply care about the user experience and solving their problems

#### Even better:

- Experience in payments, tax, accounting, or regulatory tech.

- Infrastructure or platform engineering background (e.g., CI/CD, observability).

- Experience scaling monolith-to-service architectures or event-driven systems.

- Familiarity with GraphQL, Kafka, Terraform, or container orchestration tools.

#### What we offer:

- Competitive salary and equity - you’ll share directly in the company’s success

- Full medical, dental, and vision coverage

- Wellness perks like Headspace and the Peloton One App

- 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security

- Lunch and snacks when you’re in the office

- Regular team offsites and company events as we grow

- A culture built on ownership - your work matters and people will see it!
