Multiplier Holdings is a VC-backed startup that acquires and scales professional services firms through AI and automation, operating in high-stakes verticals like tax and corporate accounting. The company integrates technology and service delivery, building in-house AI and workflow components to increase firm efficiency while improving client and staff experience.
The Tech Lead Manager is a player-coach role split roughly 50/50 between hands-on engineering and leading a small sub-pod of 2–3 engineers. You will own a defined problem area within the Tax Pod or Corporate Accounting Pod—potentially including automated email and tax advice drafting, R&D tax credit workflows, practice management tooling, or working paper generation from accounting data. You scope the problem, set technical direction, hire into the sub-pod, and drive it to outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Define scope, roadmap, and delivery for a focused workflow area within the Tax or Corp pod
- Write production code and remain an active technical contributor alongside your team
- Hire and develop a small sub-pod (~2 engineers), set expectations, and run tight feedback loops
- Speak directly with client firms to understand problems, validate solutions, and gather fast feedback
- Make and own architecture and tooling decisions for your sub-pod's problem space
- Coordinate with other Tech Lead Managers, pod leads, and product to align on shared components
- Scope tightly, ship quickly, and adjust based on field observations
- Maintain engineering standards appropriate to regulated, client-facing workflows
You will own a real problem area from day one with live clients who have immediate operational needs, meaning your work has direct, visible impact quickly. You will have the scope to hire into and shape your sub-pod rather than parachute into a fixed structure. This is an early role at a company still defining how it builds, so the norms you establish will stick.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or manager capacity
- Shipped products end-to-end in a 0-to-1 environment, not just maintained or scaled existing systems
- Direct experience managing engineers with a track record of developing people, not just directing them
- Comfortable talking to customers or clients and translating feedback into a build plan
- Make decisions quickly with incomplete information and own the outcome
- Have opinions about how to build and share them plainly without needing consensus on every point
- Frustrated by slow shipping cycles; thrive when the feedback loop between build and customer is short
- Experience in a domain with real compliance or operational stakes (tax, fintech, legal, accounting) is a plus but not required
