You own the whole arc.
From customer discovery to production. You sit with a preparer, find the real problem, design the fix, build it, ship it, and watch it get used. No handoffs, no specs thrown over a wall.
Careers
We're hiring builders.
We're not rebuilding tax software — we're rebuilding the job. AI takes the grunt work so preparers move up to the advice clients actually pay for. We're building the platform that makes that the default for every firm, and the people we hire own it end to end.
What we look for
What we mean by builder.
We hire for expertise — deep, real, demonstrable. But expertise is the floor, not the differentiator. What sets the people we hire apart is the instinct to own a problem and ship the answer.
You move fast — and finish.
We ship to real firms, not to a staging branch nobody sees. Speed isn't cutting corners; it's getting the real version in front of customers sooner, then making it better with what you learn.
Expertise is the table stakes.
We want people who are genuinely excellent at their craft — then pointed at outcomes, not tickets. You're measured by what shipped and whether it worked, not by how busy the week looked.
You learn the customer's world.
You don't need a tax background. You do need to want to understand a preparer's actual February — the deadlines, the missing documents, the client who never replies. The best features come from there.
How we work
Small team. Real customers. Short loops.
Grove is built alongside the firms who use it. That shapes how we work day to day — close to the customer, close to production, with very little standing between an idea and a shipped feature.
Ship to production
Your work reaches real preparers in days, not quarters. Everyone here ships — the surface area you own is large on purpose.
Talk to customers
You'll be on calls with tax firms, not reading a secondhand summary. Discovery and delivery are part of the job, not another team's.
Build AI-native
LLMs are the reason Grove can exist now. We use them in the product and in how we build — and we expect you to push that further.
Where we're hiring
Open to builders across the board.
We're a small team and we hire generalists who go deep. These are the areas we're actively talking to people about — but if you're a builder and you don't see your exact role, reach out anyway.

How hiring works
We hire the way we build — fast, and by doing.
01
Intro call
Thirty minutes with a founder. What you've built, what you want to own next, and whether Grove is the place to do it.
02
Build something real
A short exercise rooted in an actual Grove problem. No whiteboard trivia — we want to see how you think and ship.
03
Meet the team
Time with the people you'd work with, the codebase, and the product. You're sizing us up as much as we're sizing you up.
04
Decision, fast
We move quickly and we tell you where you stand. Expect an answer in days, not weeks.
