Tax Rails is building TurboTax for payroll taxes — we simplify the payroll tax processes like e-filing and election filings into clean APIs. We're hiring a senior Rails engineer (4–10 yrs) to own features end-to-end: modeling gnarly tax workflows, document generation, e-file pipelines. Care about correctness — in tax, "mostly right" isn't right. No tax background needed.
Email griffin [at] taxrails [dot] com with a short note, resume, and something you've built.

I think we've taken the best parts of what folks like Lovable have created (one click deployment and chat to do anything), but built the drag and drop functionality into it-- which is something people have come to depend on. From what I've seen, the uptake of AI into the non-ai site builders has been very slow because they all have proprietary JSON formats.
When I've been at big companies, it's all about experience and grey hair, and people become more motivated by money and low risk. I find many times, the quality of the average person at a big company is lower than the average startup fresh grad.
