We acquire established accounting and tax advisory firms and onboard them to our proprietary agentic platform, combining deep industry expertise with AI-native technology. Backed by $40m in equity and debt from top-tier investors, we're building and scaling a new kind of accounting & tax group in Germany. Our founders bring significant experience across M&A, operations, and AI-native technology, having previously built and scaled unicorns, Razor Group and Augustus. ## The Role As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll work from our Berlin HQ at the intersection of engineering, product, and operations. You'll work directly with our tax advisory teams to understand how they operate, identify high-impact opportunities for technology and automation, and build solutions that improve how work gets done. Rather than building from abstract requirements, you'll work in tight feedback loops with users — understanding workflows, building MVPs fast, deploying them into production, and iterating based on real-world usage. You're part engineer, part product thinker, and fully hands-on. Your work will directly shape how our technology and agentic systems are deployed across the Limetax group. ## What You'll Work On - Workflow Discovery. Work directly with tax professionals to understand complex operational workflows and identify where software and AI can have the biggest impact. - Rapid Prototyping. Turn operational problems into working MVPs quickly, test them with users, and iterate based on real-world feedback. - Product Engineering. Build software, internal tools, integrations, automations, and AI-enabled workflows that solve real problems across our firms. - Production Deployment. Take solutions beyond prototypes and deploy them into live operational environments. - Feedback & Iteration. Stay close to users after deployment, evaluate what works, and continuously improve the systems you build. - Scaling Solutions. Turn successful solutions into reliable, repeatable systems that can be rolled out across the Limetax group. - Cross-functional Execution. Work closely with founders, engineers, operators, and tax professionals to take projects from problem discovery through implementation. ## Your Profile - You are a strong builder. You have shipped software, automations, or AI-enabled products that real users relied on and are comfortable working across APIs, databases, integrations, and modern development tools. - You have high agency. You don't wait for perfect requirements or a detailed playbook. You take ambiguous problems, figure out what matters, and drive them from discovery to production. - You are AI-native. You have built with LLMs, agents, or AI-enabled workflows and understand where AI creates real value — and where humans need to stay in the loop. - You work well with users. You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, earn trust, and thrive in messy environments with imperfect data, legacy systems, and changing priorities. - You speak professional German and fluent English. German is essential for working directly with our tax advisory teams across Germany. ## Why Limetax - Real-world impact. Build systems that are actively used in production and directly change how tax professionals work. - End-to-end ownership. Own problems from understanding the workflow to building, deploying, and improving the solution. - Tight feedback loops. Work directly with the people using what you build and see immediately where your solutions create value. - Build applied AI in production. Deploy AI against complex, real-world workflows rather than isolated demos or theoretical use cases. - Scale across the group. Build solutions in one environment and turn what works into systems that can be deployed across multiple firms. - Build at an early stage. Help shape the technology, products, and engineering practices that will define how Limetax scales. - Meaningful upside. Competitive cash compensation plus meaningful equity. ## About Limetax ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Limetax is building the next-generation tax advisory and accounting firm group in Germany, combining selected partner firms with its own DATEV-native, AI-powered technology platform. - **Entity Type**: Private (funded by leading institutional investors and business angels; funding stage not publicly disclosed) - **Headquarters**: Berlin, Germany (Zionskirchstr. 73 A, 10119 Berlin) - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Christoph Gamon (CEO), Maximilian Meyer (COO), Christoph Dansard (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Tax advisory, accounting, professional services technology (SaaS). - **Target customers**: B2B – German businesses seeking tax advisory and accounting services; also serves as a technology and operations partner to independent tax firms within its group. - **Mission/statement**: To reshape the German tax advisory industry by providing modern, efficient financial processes and proactive advisory powered by technology, while preserving local, personal client relationships. ## Products & Services - **Limetax Technology** – A DATEV-native, AI-powered software suite that complements existing DATEV environments.
