Python/Django web developer needed for a startup team that is revolutionizing the consumer finance space

Over 25 million people use TurboTax software every year to file their taxes. But many more millions still walk into a tax store. You will be joining the small team of successful startup people that are disrupting the multi-billion dollar tax industry with their first product, TurboTax CPA Select.
