Americans receive ~$400B in tax refunds per year. A tax refund is in essence an interest free loan to the government. The average American overpays their taxes by ~$3K per year. We plan to change that by being an AI enabled automated tax

specialist for the 80% of Americans that receive a tax refund. Our existing system has optimized tax withholdings for over 1M Americans so far, but we have plans to go much further.

We’re adding a Product Engineers to our team to help monetize and scale our tax product (PayBoost). You'll work closely with business operations and the core services engineering team to deliver a product that scales and just works. Projects

will include an update to our AI architecture, a potential rewrite to separate the service from our monolith, updates to our existing data models, 99.99% reliability/uptime, and creating additional visibility into the core components for monitoring.

We're focused on serving our users above all else all while building a robust business. To this end, Grid's team members experience high levels autonomy and ownership, and as a company we value curiosity, learning and growth. We work in-person in our San Francisco and Seattle offices.
