Numeral | Software Engineer (full-stack, AI team) | Hybrid (NYC) | $175k - $300k

We build sales tax compliance software so companies can focus on their product instead of taxes. We’re one of the fastest-growing players in the space, taking share from incumbents like Avalara.

We’re a small, high-ownership team. My team in particular is applying AI (agents + workflows) to automate and dramatically reduce operational overhead.

What you’ll do:

- Build product + AI infra across the stack

- Work on AI-driven systems (agents, orchestration, internal tooling)

- Ship quickly with real user impact, both internally and externally

If interested, can send resume directly to jerry@numeralhq.com and I'll fast track!

At some point I've wondered if "fiduciary duty", when pushed to highest corporate levels, always conflicts with "make the world a better place"

This does nothing.

I'll just start a business that mails letters to companies for you.
