About The Position

Magnetic is building AI-powered tax prep for professionals. Our product scans, classifies, and populates client tax documents directly into professional tax software. That means CPAs and EAs can handle more returns, more accurately, and with far less manual work. We’re a small, fast-moving team backed by Y Combinator (S25).
