Role
Who you are

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer that enjoys quick iterations, a heavy experimentation culture, and owning features end to end to impact key company metrics
- You will impact everything from the company’s central experimentation and feature flagging platform, to the first entrypoint for new and existing customers into the Found app

- Some recent team accomplishments include:
- Updating our onboarding architecture to provide highly customizable experiences based on the acquisition channel for that user
- Launching the ability to have draft payroll runs that can then be promoted into real payroll runs
- Adding the ability for users to manage their contractors through one centralized area (Contractor Management Center)
- Expanding our CMS functionality to give our marketing team more autonomy to create marketing pages without requiring any coding
- Day to day, you will:
- Collaborate with other engineers to build and ship both user and internal facing features
- Work directly with designers and product managers to design and ideate on features
- Determine how we will build, test, deploy, and scale features
- Build secure and maintainable code
Otta's take

Traditionally, freelancers have been burdened with the need to juggle multiple tools and solutions to handle their bookkeeping, invoices, and tax responsibilities.

It enables users to seamlessly manage their finances by offering services such as income deposits, the issuance of dedicated company debit cards, and tax calculations. Additionally, Found equips freelancers with real-time business insights and streamlines the process of making quarterly tax payments.

In light of this trend, Found is dedicated to capitalizing on the opportunity by expanding its marketing efforts and enhancing its product offerings. Through these strategic moves, Found aims to further support its ever-growing customer base.
