- Build SOX-aware IPE and control-total tooling, including ingestion control totals, source-to-target tie-outs, and audit evidence pipelines.
- Design tooling that applies Claude to tax work and provides non-technical tax colleagues self-service access to data, calculations, and evidence.
- Serve as the technical owner for vendor implementation handoffs and remain accountable after go-live.
- Partner with Billing Engineering, Data Platform, Tax, Treasury, and Product as new products and jurisdictions come online.

## Requirements
- Hands-on experience building or owning production integrations with billing platforms, ERPs, or enterprise tax and finance systems.
- Tax-systems fluency in at least one domain, such as indirect tax engines, corporate tax provision or compliance tooling, withholding, research credits, or transfer pricing systems.
- 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.

## Nice-to-haves

- Experience owning changes in a shared production codebase alongside a product engineering team.

- Experience across multiple tax domains, including sales/use tax, VAT/GST, corporate income tax and provision, withholding, research credits, and transfer pricing data.
- 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.
- Marketplace, usage-based, or platform billing experience.

- UAT design and change-management experience on finance-systems implementations.
- Record of novel AI applications for foundational tax tasks.
