About Filed

Filed is building the first AI-powered tax preparer trusted by America’s top accounting firms. This $70B industry is mission-critical—and cracking under a massive talent crunch. We’re stepping in with speed, automation, and intelligence.

In just 9 months, we’ve reached strong product-market fit, are generating sticky revenue, and are backed by top-tier investors. We’re not building a tool—we’re replacing missing workforce with software that thinks. We’re scaling fast and looking for builders who want to say: “I was there when we changed the game.”

Why you shouldn’t take this job:

• This is not a job for someone who likes a slow, waterfall backlog.

• We ship production bots weekly. We change direction fast. We break things—and we fix them faster.

• If your automation needs a 4-week spec doc and time to “polish,” this isn’t the place. If your bots block others, they’ll get rebuilt without you.

• You’ll work across APIs, messy legacy systems, tax logic, and human-in-the-loop workflows. Nothing here is clean. Everything is real.

• There are no templates. Just deep domain weirdness, conflicting edge cases, and pressure to move.

• You’ll ask: “Is this really my job?” Yes. It is. And it’s not for everyone.

Why it might be the best move of your career:

• We’re automating workflows that tax pros said were “too complex” to touch.

• You will work with bleeding edge product that people think is impossible to build and you will prove them wrong.

• We’ve reached strong product-market fit in under a year. We’re funded, fast-growing, and obsessed with turning RPA into something modern, intelligent, and scalable.

• You’ll own what you ship—end-to-end. You’ll get equity. You’ll get paid well.

• You’ll work on bots that integrate LLMs —all tied to real money, compliance, and users.

• We run reviews every 4 months, with full transparency on growth, pay, and impact.

The kind of teammate we’re looking for:

• Thinks in systems, flows, and second-order effects

• Have a minimum of 4 years of RPA experience and is incredibly passionate about it.

• Sees edge cases as opportunities, not blockers

• Works across APIs, and old-school desktop software

• Obsessively curious about the process they’re automating

• Can ship quick but is allergic to tech debt

What you’ll be doing:

• Automating tax and compliance workflows across federal, state, and financial forms

• Integrating with legacy systems, third-party APIs

• Designing bots that combine LLMs, task queues for AI agents

• Scaling automation from prototypes to production—end to end

• Making judgment calls on where to build vs. where to bolt on AI

Your technical toolbelt:

• Deep experience with RPA tools (UiPath or custom Python bots)

• Strong scripting skills—Python preferred

• Comfortable with APIs, async workflows, task queues, and browser automation (Playwright/Selenium)

• Bonus: Experience integrating with LLMs or building internal automation tools

Your mindset:

• You think outcomes, not tasks

• You’re comfortable working without perfect specs

• You collaborate deeply with ops, product, and AI teams

• You care about the domain—you want to understand the work behind the workflow

• You love putting bots in front of real users and watching them save hours

Growth and Levels

We operate on a clear 6-level structure, from Level 1 (early-career) to Level 6 (principal-level owner). Every 4 months, we run reviews—based on output and ownership, not just time served.

Expect fast feedback, clear scope, and meaningful jumps in comp and equity.

This isn’t a comfy enterprise RPA gig. It’s fast, dynamic, and user-obsessed.

You will build fast. You will learn fast. You will own what you ship.

The hiring process

• Async technical task + system walkthrough

• Quick intro call

• Final round with the team

• Optional 2–3 day paid trial

• Then we decide together if this is the right fight

If you’re tired of slow-moving automation projects with little real-world impact—and want to build bots that are the backbone of a new workforce—this is your shot.
