Tax Product Specialist
Translates federal and state tax forms into structured logic for engineering teams, ensures accuracy of tax calculations and e-filing compliance, and tests software outputs. Requires accounting background, attention to detail, and 3+ years tax filing experience preferred.
About the job
Key Responsibilities
- Turn federal and state tax forms and instructions into clean, structured logic our engineering team can actually build from
- Be the go-to tax brain for product and engineering teams when weird, tricky, or “wait… is this allowed?” questions come up
- Test our tax software outputs obsessively (and proudly) to make sure the numbers are right every time
- Stay ahead of changes in the individual tax code so surprises don’t make it into production
Experience
- Undergraduate in Accounting or a related field (or equivalent real-world experience that proves you know your stuff)
- Comfort living in Google Sheets
- Meticulous attention to detail — yes, the kind that notices a missing comma or off-by-point-zero-zero-one error
- Strong time-management and organizational skills (you can juggle without dropping things)
- Clear written and verbal communication skills—you can explain tax logic to both tax people and non-tax people
- Curiosity and grit: you like learning new things and don’t give up when the answer isn’t obvious
- A problem-solver’s mindset—you enjoy tracking down edge cases until they surrender
Even Better If You Have
- EA certification (or you’re actively working toward one)
- 3+ years experience filing individual income taxes
- Experience reading XML schema and Business Rules
- A knack for complex logic puzzles, brain teasers, or Sudoku style games
