Job Description

Each year the US and Canadian governments give out billions of dollars in R&D tax credits and innovation incentives to fund businesses, but the application process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and receiving the money can take 12+ months.

Boast is building the future of tax credit recovery with artificial intelligence so companies can get more money, faster, for less time and risk. Boast’s mission is to help innovative companies become successful.


While we serve that mission through our product, we’ve also built a non-profit community of 90k+ technology professionals called Traction to take that mission further, bringing leaders from the fastest growing companies like Google, Shopify, Twilio, GitHub, Cloudflare, and many more to share advice via weekly webinars, regular meetups, and an annual conference.

We've secured $123M USD in funding and have been featured in TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Fox Business, Forbes, and other publications as a force in the space. Come join our mission to drive innovation and entrepreneurship!
