About Numeral
Numeral is revolutionizing the automation framework for online commerce, beginning with the often tedious task of sales tax compliance. We take care of everything from registration to remittance, providing an exceptional service that allows e-commerce businesses to concentrate on their core mission: expanding their products, customer base, and teams.
As one of the rapidly growing companies from Y Combinator’s Winter 2023 cohort, we are backed by prestigious investors such as Benchmark Capital. Our team boasts extensive experience from the pioneering days at Stripe, Airbnb, Notion, and other leading firms, and we are poised to bring that same level of expertise, speed, and ambition to an industry ripe for transformation.
Numeral may be small, but our impact is significant. Our growth is already approaching unmanageable levels, meaning each new hire will play a crucial role in shaping our company’s future. If you’re eager to join as an early team member and desire the kind of ownership that can define your career, we would love to connect with you.
Mission
Operating an online business today often requires juggling numerous responsibilities, many of which are not why founders launched their ventures. Our mission is to alleviate the administrative and accounting pressures that divert businesses from their passions.
We have already assisted hundreds of merchants in sidestepping the headache of establishing large finance teams solely to manage tax compliance. Looking ahead, we aim to broaden our positive impact by developing the automation layer that enables online businesses to remain agile, compliant, and prepared for the future.
About the Role
We are seeking a foundational Software Engineer (Infrastructure) who excels at tackling complex distributed systems challenges at scale. In this role, you will design and implement core infrastructure, enhance service reliability and observability, and guarantee the platform’s scalability as we accommodate growing transaction volumes and integrations.
This is a pivotal role with high leverage: your contributions will shape the architecture and technical direction of our infrastructure platform, directly influencing our customers’ experience and the trajectory of the company.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop highly scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure to support critical APIs, services, and data pipelines.
- Lead infrastructure architecture decisions focusing on performance, observability, and fault tolerance.
