About The Position

SRED.io is redefining how companies fund innovation. We’re a fast-growing startup building a cutting-edge, AI-powered platform that helps Canadian businesses unlock SR&ED funding for their most ambitious tech and scientific projects. By combining advanced NLP technology with deep expertise from top-tier SR&ED professionals, we’re transforming a traditionally complex, documentation-heavy process into a seamless, intelligent experience. Our mission is simple: eliminate the friction of SR&ED claims so companies can focus on what matters most — building, experimenting, and pushing innovation forward. We currently don’t have an office, so the role is fully remote for the time being. However, we expect to establish an office in the future and transition to a hybrid setup.
