Our mission is to empower every tax professional with technology that truly understands the job because it’s built by someone who’s lived it. Trusted by hundreds of firms and growing quickly, we’re building tools people rely on every day.

Description

Tax Software Specialist (AI Tax Platform)

Company: Juno (Juno.Tax)

Location: Hybrid in San Diego; open to full-time remote for the right candidate.

Schedule: Flexible, roughly 9am–5pm in your local time zone

Role Overview: Juno is hiring a Tax Software Specialist to help ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of our AI-driven tax platform. This role sits at the intersection of tax, systems, and product quality and is ideal for someone who enjoys validating logic, testing edge cases, and thinking holistically about how tax data flows through a system. This is a remote role with flexible working hours, generally aligned to a 9am–5pm schedule in your local time zone. Experience with tax software platforms or startups is a plus, but not required—strong tax fundamentals, curiosity, and an ownership mindset are most important.

About Juno: Founded by a CPA and tax firm owner, Juno is a well-funded startup building AI-powered tax accounting tools that combine AI, deterministic tax logic, and deep professional tax software integrations to eliminate manual work, achieving a 97% first-pass accuracy rate, and relieving tax professionals— not replacing them—while building strong momentum across the tax industry.

What You’ll Do

• Test the platform end-to-end from document upload through AI extraction, validation, tax logic, tax software export, and return generation
• Stress test complex tax scenarios including multi-state returns, K-1s, investments, and edge cases
• Validate exports and tax logic across professional tax software platforms including Drake, ProConnect, Lacerte, UltraTax, and CCH
• Run daily regression tests and full QA test preps
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Customer Support to ensure consistent behavior across tax software mappings, preparer data that is pulled and validated, reviewer gotcha checks, and advisor and assistant AI responses
• Document tax logic decisions, QA findings, and edge cases

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in tax preparation, accounting, or audit
• Strong understanding of federal and state individual tax returns
• Experience with one or more professional tax software platforms (Drake, ProConnect, Lacerte, UltraTax, CCH)
• Background at a tax, accounting, or auditing firm
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong analytical thinking
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and operate comfortably in a startup environment

Nice-to-Haves (Not Required)

• Experience with multiple professional tax software platforms
• CPA or EA (active, inactive, or in progress)
• Bachelor's in Accounting
• Interest in AI-driven products and modern tax technology

Benefits & Perks

• Unlimited PTO and company holidays
• Medical, vision, and dental coverage (100% employee, 90% family)
• Home office and learning & development stipends
• Meaningful equity for every employee
