Taxwell is an organization of forward thinkers looking to add industry experts to our growing team.

We’re hiring a Software Engineer II to join our Federal Tax Filing team and help build seamless, high-impact tax preparation and submission workflows. You’ll contribute across the stack, with a primary focus on modern web development using Angular front-end development (60%) and C++ back-end logic (40%).

This role is ideal for an engineer who’s mastered the fundamentals and are ready for broader ownership, and comfortable delivering full features that touch both UI and core systems. You’ll join a collaborative, mature codebase and play a critical role in user-facing performance, clarity, and reliability.

You’ll primarily develop in Angular and C++, with opportunities to collaborate across our broader tech stack including full-stack components and cloud-based services. You will have the opportunity to use AI-assisted tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar. These tools help accelerate development while maintaining the high standards we hold for our engineering work.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, implement, and test Angular front-end components for critical tax filing workflows
• Build and debug C++ back-end services, ensuring high performance and stability
• Refactor existing logic for maintainability and clarity across the stack
• Participate in design and code reviews with a focus on long-term quality
• Partner with product, QA, and design to ship well-scoped, reliable features

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Have 3–5 years of professional experience as a software engineer
• Are proficient in Angular including components, services, and routing
• Have real-world experience building and debugging C++ in web applications
• Enjoy working full stack, but lean toward front-end UI ownership
• Can break down work, ask good questions, and deliver features independently

BONUS SKILLS:

• Familiarity with AI-assisted dev tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code
• Experience in cloud environments (especially AWS)
• Background in regulated domains like fintech, tax, or healthcare
• Agile or Scrum team experience
