Today, Soraban's building software to help accountants automate their client data intake process. Our next step is to build the Copilot for accountants. We are looking for ambitious people to come build the best piece of software for accountants.
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. As our infrastructure matures, we’re hiring our first DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of reliability, security, and remote desktop hosting at scale.
Our infrastructure is at an inflection point. We currently run a mix of Heroku and AWS, but are consolidating on AWS and need someone to lead that effort. You'll be responsible for our core infrastructure, CI/CD, cloud hosting, and DevOps practices, ensuring we stay reliable, secure, and cost-efficient as we grow.
We’re also expanding a cloud-hosted desktop solution that enables accounting firms to work in a secure, managed environment. You’ll help own and scale this offering, turning it from an early-stage feature into a productized platform and a key part of our business model.
We’re a very early-stage startup, so this role is hands-on, scrappy, and high-impact. You’ll work closely with the leadership, ship quickly, and help lay the technical foundations of the company.
We’re a hybrid team (3 days in-office, 2 days remote), with offices in San Francisco, CA and Tempe, AZ
