Our story: Every year millions of people are either filing their taxes in fear or giving up on their tax refund altogether.
We're working on fixing that. Our intuitive app enables anyone, regardless of education or background, to file their taxes with newfound confidence. Spread across Berlin and Madrid, Team Taxfix is a compassionate group of solution-finders.
We speak our minds openly, and with 500+ professionals from 45+ different nationalities, we're rich in ideas and voices.
In four years, we've raised over 300 million euros in funding and helped people reclaim more than one billion euros.
Your challenge: Assisted Tax Filing (or what we fondly call as "do-it-for-me") is one of the most exciting new product areas within Taxfix. Building upon the immense trust that we have established with our users, we have started offering them tax filing services beyond "do-it-yourself" in the form of a new product line. Reporting to our Senior Engineering Manager and collaborating with product, design, data, tax experts, external partners, and other engineering teams, you'll be defining and driving the team's strategy and the roadmap.
