Come join the DataX team as a Software Engineer 1!

DataX captures customer tax data from any source, at any point in the tax experience. That includes documents customers upload from their computer, photos of paper forms taken on their phone, and data imported directly from third parties like payroll providers and financial institutions. We classify each document, extract the tax information, and apply it to the return, so customers answer fewer questions and finish their taxes in minutes instead of hours. DataX is a foundational building block of the future of TurboTax.

Our team is building the document acquisition experience inside TurboTax's AI-powered tax assistant. When a customer says 'add my tax docs,' our agent tools, services, and UI components let them upload, snap, or import their documents right in the conversation, and then show them what was found and applied to their return.

This is a hybrid role with the expectation of working from our Toronto office 3 days per week.

Deliver high-quality software end to end, from requirements and design through code, tests, documentation, and release. Roughly 80–95% of your time is hands-on coding.

Build and extend AI agent capabilities, such as tools, skills, and orchestration logic, that let our assistant help customers upload, photograph, and import their tax documents.

Build customer-facing UI components, like capture flows, upload progress indicators, and document summary cards, in close partnership with designers and product managers.

Help maintain AI quality:



run and analyze evaluation suites and production traces, find the root cause of failures, and close the gaps.

Join the on-call rotation (starting as secondary) and take part in incident response. Contribute to early quality activities, including peer reviews of estimates, designs, and code.

Work cross-functionally with product management, design, QE, data science, and partner engineering teams to deliver against shared commitments.

BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

- 0–2 years of professional software development experience. Internships and co-ops count.
