At TaxDome, we’re building the #1 practice management platform for accounting firms in the US and globally. Founded in 2017, we’ve grown into a 400+ fully remote team across 40+ countries, serving tens of thousands of businesses worldwide with millions of end clients.
We are looking for an experienced and inspiring Engineering Manager to lead engineering teams within our Tax Preparation Cluster — one of TaxDome's core product areas. This role is ideal for a leader who combines deep technical expertise with strong people and organizational management skills. You will oversee several cross-functional product teams building the end-to-end tax preparation experience — from collecting client data to delivering finalized tax returns — driving engineering excellence, improving processes, and fostering a high-performing, growth-oriented culture.
We practice product engineering — our engineers are not just code contributors, they are deeply embedded in the product lifecycle. From Discovery (understanding user pain points, shaping solutions together with Product and Design) through Delivery to post-release ownership — engineers care about how the product lives in the hands of real customers, how it performs, and how much value it brings. We expect the Engineering Manager to champion this mindset and nurture teams that think beyond tickets and sprints — teams that genuinely own the outcomes for our users.
You’ll be part of a globally distributed team built on trust, ownership, and self-management.
We focus on outcomes over activity — prioritizing clear ownership, pragmatic decision-making, and accountability for results over rigid processes. Collaboration is central to how we operate: we communicate openly, involve the right people early, and continuously improve how we build products and teams together.
The Tax Prep Cluster is part of TaxDome's core platform — the back-office hub for accounting firms. Documents are at the heart of TaxDome — they are the central entity around which the entire platform is built. We manage the end-to-end tax preparation process, including:
Intake Flow — smart document & data collection (questionnaires, checklists, automation)
Tax Preparation Flow — validation and secure transfer to external tax systems
Delivery Flow — finalized returns, e-signatures, and payments
Each flow uses AI-based document handling and LLM assistants to reduce manual work and improve accuracy. Our goal is to make the tax preparation experience seamless, automated, and AI-driven.
We utilize Ruby on Rails for Backend development, React and TypeScript for Frontend, PostgreSQL as the database, Docker for containerization, AWS for infrastructure, Kubernetes (k8s) for orchestration, and CI/CD processes on GitLab. We are also introducing new microservices in Python to support AI-driven features and scalable processing. Our project management is handled using Jira with an Agile approach, and we adhere to the trunk-based development model. We follow a comprehensive automated testing strategy across all levels of the testing pyramid (unit, integration, API, E2E).
As an Engineering Manager, you will oversee 2–3 cross-functional product teams within the Tax Preparation Cluster. You'll ensure that engineering excellence, process consistency, and delivery quality remain at a high standard across teams.
Delivery Management
Contribute to planning and estimation, providing expert input on timelines, risks, and implementation complexity.
Ensure teams plan realistically and consistently deliver on their commitments — building a culture of predictability and accountability in execution.
Help the team design technically sound, scalable, and maintainable solutions.
Remove technical or organizational blockers to keep delivery on track.
Coordinate adoption of technical features and infrastructure improvements across the cluster, ensuring consistency, scalability, and adherence to shared standards.
Prepare regular status reports to the Cluster Engineering Manager.
People Management
Build, develop, and mentor your teams through regular 1-on-1s, feedback, and growth plans.
Form effective teams, manage resources, and allocate them according to business needs.
Support effective onboarding and help new engineers integrate quickly.
Foster a culture of ownership, autonomy, and collaboration.
Participate in the regular performance review process.
Ensuring Quality
Promote a strong engineering culture focused on quality, learning, and transparency.
Drive maximum test automation across all levels of the testing pyramid, minimizing reliance on manual testing.
Participate in architectural discussions and strategic decisions (without taking on routine coding tasks).
Ensure effective communication and visibility across teams in the cluster.
Collaborate with Technical Staff, Product Managers, and Cluster Engineering Manager to balance technical excellence, delivery speed, and business priorities.
Process Management
Work on improving engineering and team practices.
Timely communicate any changes to processes to the team, monitor adherence to agreements.
AI & Agentic Development
TaxDome is transforming into an AI-Native company — AI is not an add-on, it is becoming a core part of how we build and deliver products.
We are evolving our engineering culture toward Agentic Developers — engineers who actively leverage AI tools and assistants in their daily workflows to accelerate development, improve code quality, and automate routine tasks.
As an Engineering Manager, you will champion AI adoption within your teams, encourage experimentation with AI-powered tooling, and help shape the practices that make AI a natural part of the engineering process.
You will play a key role in shaping the technical foundation of one of TaxDome's most impactful product areas — used daily by thousands of accounting firms. Your leadership will directly influence how our teams deliver value, evolve their skills, and build the AI-driven systems that power the future of tax preparation.

Organization: Strong planning and problem-solving skills to coordinate architecture, delivery, and
