Generalist Rubyist/DevOps Eng (Rails/Docker/AWS)

paul@upwardearner.com [please start your email subject line with "Upward HN", thanks!]

Upward is building an AI-driven tax app for the modern, multi-earner era.

We help users find tax clarity and savings through a beautiful interface that aggregates all types of earned income, including freelance/self-employment, gig work, salaried jobs, and investments/crypto (or losses).

As a small team, we have ambitious plans to make it easier for users to minimize their taxes owed and to pay them right through their phone. We're also working to apply language models to messy financial data and the enormously complicated (and ever-changing) U.S. tax code to help users make sense of their financial situation throughout the tax year.

We're looking to fill two full-time (remote) roles (compensation negotiable for the right candidates):

* Generalist Rubyist/DevOps Eng (Rails/Docker/AWS)

* Generalist Designer (UX/UI/Illustration/Animation)

These might look like 4-6 roles bundled into two, but we're looking for generalists who are smart, curious, and eager to work on several different but interrelated things. Our CTO has handled all of the above over the past year and we're looking for similar people who are excited to apply and expand their expertise in new ways to build something extraordinary.

We're a small and distributed product team:

* Frontend – 2 iOS and 1 part-time QA eng

* CTO – backend/devops, design, and product. Based in NYC with experience in finance (BlackRock), video (Vimeo), mobile games (Dots), generative AI, and blockchain dev/NFTs (https://opensea.io/collection/1989-sisters)

* CEO – CPA who has served as CFO for a large asset management firm in NYC and brings a depth of tax and financial know-how

We'd love to hear from you!
