We’re building the Copilot for accountants!

Soraban is a post-product-market-fit B2B SaaS startup with rapidly growing ARR and customer usage. Our platform helps tax firms automate data intake and service delivery and we’re scaling fast. We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to help us evolve our architecture, scale our systems, and deliver reliable, performant experiences to a rapidly growing customer base.

We’re a hybrid team (3 days in-office, 2 days remote), with offices in San Francisco, CA and Tempe, AZ.

Skills & experience we're looking for:

  • Production experience with Ruby on Rails, and a deep understanding of PostgreSQL, ActiveRecord, and data modeling in a high-throughput app.
  • Experience scaling backend systems and working with AWS services like RDS, ECS, and S3.
  • Strong debugging and performance tuning skills (e.g. N+1 queries, memory usage, job queues).
  • Comfortable with async processing (Sidekiq, queues, retries, idempotency).
  • Strong communication skills and a track record of collaborating across functions.

Bonus if:

  • You can think from customer’s perspective and iterate extremely quickly.
  • You are a self-starter who doesn't need to be micromanaged.
  • You have shipped a product end-to-end (from frontend to backend/API) and scaled to a ton of active users.
  • Have experience with security best practices (auth, session management, secrets, logging).
  • You are persistent and determined. You are the type of person who will go the distance to get the job done.
  • You've directly worked with a founder before.

Important Note: Instead of a cover letter, please send over a link or anything that we can review to quickly figure out if we have a fit. Show us that you can build great products.

Please do not reach out if you are a recruiter, thanks!
