Full Job Description
The Work You'll Do:
As a Regulatory Compliance Engineer at Sovos, you will play a central role in validating the quality and accuracy of the rates and rules contained in our tax calculation engines and related products. We update our solution multiple times a month, every month - ensuring rules work the way they were intended is a critical responsibility of this role. Our content quality assurance process utilizes a suite of tools and automated protocols, and the people on this team are the final line of assurance that everything is always right.
Sovos actively works with several state governments by providing certified software solutions enabling accurate compliance (e.g., Streamlined Sales Tax), and the Compliance Engineering team is responsible for ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the data we supply pursuant to these programs.
More specifically, you will:
• Be a part of the team tasked with owning and continuously improving our mission-critical tax content quality assurance process
• Develop deep subject matter expertise in indirect tax rules - how they work, what they're intended to do, and how they should behave in software
• Understand how tax rules are translated into tax engine logic, and identify where intent and reality diverge
• Create and review suites of test scenarios (unit, automated, and regression) designed to validate the accuracy and completeness of our content changes
• Work with team members to design and implement AI-assisted testing workflows to expand coverage and reduce manual effort across the Content QA process
• Collaborate with Product, Development, Client Support, Professional Services, and Compliance Services teams in enabling the continued success of our Content QA process
• Support our participation in certified compliance programs such as Streamlined Sales Tax, ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the data we supply to state governments
• Support coordination of our two primary external audits (SOC 1 Type 2) of our tax content and sales tax filing processes
What We Need From You
• Genuine interest in understanding the complexity of indirect tax compliance
• Academic or work experience with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word
• Academic or work experience with SQL and/or Python
• Experience or interest in developing AI tools to streamline labor-intensive processes and workflows
• Strong collaboration skills and an ability to work effectively across teams in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and make sound prioritization decisions
• A persistent, detail-oriented mindset - the kind of person who investigates discrepancies until they're fully resolved
• A passion for accuracy
• Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire
