Who We Are

 

The name “Corvee” refers to the first recorded type of tax in human history. It was one of the main catalysts for the French Revolution. Our goal is to take this name and reinvent the way that we as accountants, business owners and individuals deal with taxes. People love our software—and it turns out that people love working here, too. We’re proud of our amazing high-growth and this is all due to our best and most important asset: our employees! 

If you’ve got a data-driven mindset, and enjoy being in a role where you’re empowered to transform complex tasks into easy-to-use designs that delight our users. You will be involved in every aspect of the product development process, working side-by-side with other designers, product managers, and engineers.

 

Overview

At Corvee, we’re passionate about Product-Led Growth and Design Thinking and we’re looking for a UI/UX Designer, who has experience with these methodologies, to join our team and help us fundamentally shape our product.
