- Interest or experience translating tax logic/forms into code (either at a tax software company or elsewhere)
- You have an understanding of federal or state XML schemas, a plus
What the job involves

- Build end-to-end tests for tax calculations to ensure accuracy
- Research the federal & state tax law and be the expert on requirements
Application process
- Intro call with one of the members of the team

- Virtual one-day “onsite”: tell us about your previous work & values, see what working with us would be like, and work through a tax/product problem live with the team
Our take
Year-round access to accountants and tax advisers has long been limited to the wealthy. Column Tax is a mobile income tax software platform that aims to solve this problem by giving ordinary people high-quality, year-round financial support.
Column Tax makes it easier for users to file their taxes and access their tax refunds, which will no doubt appeal to the large percentage of Americans that rely financially on rebates. The company's software differs from programs such as TurboTax in that it is mobile-only, and it integrates with users' existing banking apps. This year-round integration will save users valuable time on their annual tax preparation.
The company has raised considerable investment, and expanded services to cover state tax filings atop its original federal-only offering. In continuing to expand the scope of its products and integrations, Column Tax is building a pathway into future success.
