- Build SOX-aware IPE and control-total tooling, including ingestion control totals, source-to-target tie-outs, and audit evidence pipelines.

- Partner with Billing Engineering, Data Platform, Tax, Treasury, and Product as new products and jurisdictions come online.
Requirements

- Production-grade Python proficiency with testing and code-review discipline.
- SQL proficiency sufficient to build reconciliations and validate data end to end.
- Experience building or operating SOX-aware data flows, such as IPE, control totals, or documented and testable pipelines.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-changing environment.
- Ability to work directly with vendors, auditors, engineers, and tax professionals.

- Experience building internal tools or interfaces for non-technical finance or tax users.
- Experience building with large language models or applying AI to finance or tax work.

- Record of novel AI applications for foundational tax tasks.
Compensation and Benefits
- Annual salary: $205,000–$270,000 USD.
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
