At Taxnova, we’re building the financial intelligence layer for engineering. We turn what engineers actually do (code, tickets, docs, discussions) into the numbers finance and tax teams need to get the most out of every engineering dollar.

We started with R&D tax claim: every year, governments return billions to companies investing in R&D. But for 20+ years, the process has been stuck in a manual world: endless interviews, scattered docs, slow advisors and stressful audits.
We connect directly to engineering tools like GitHub, Jira, Slack and Google Docs, and leverage scattered company data to identify projects that could be claimed for R&D tax relief: all in days, not months — 10x faster than the traditional process, across countries.
Impact: we free engineers and finance teams from tedious paperwork and help innovative companies get the funding they deserve.Hard technical problem: turn messy, unstructured data from dozens of sources into structured, defensible evidence — at scale, with LLMs, without losing accuracy.Trusted by top tech companies: working with companies like incident.io and Paddle, and we’re in a tender with a $100B public US tech company.Backed by a16z Speedrun, s16vc, Karaoke Club, Golden Egg Check and 25 top finance, tax and engineering leaders like incident.io founder, Kraken’s Head of Tax and ex-Twilio CFO, see tech.eu coverage of our launch.You'll be a core engineer on the founding team, owning the AI product and the client cases it's built through. Here, product development and delivery are one loop: what you learn on a client case today becomes the product tomorrow.
Most of your time goes into building the product, at a high engineering bar. But you'll also own client cases end to end, because that's where the product gets tested and shaped. If you want to build without ever owning a client outcome, this isn't the role for you.
