Full Job Description
We9re looking for a Senior Indirect Tax Analyst to join Discord9s global tax team and play a hands-on role in shaping our tax function as we scale. You9ll own work across corporate income tax, indirect tax, tax provisions, and global operations-partnering directly with Finance, Engineering, Legal, and external advisors. This is a high-visibility role where your contributions will directly influence how Discord navigates complex, multi-jurisdictional tax challenges during a period of rapid global growth.

You9ll tackle novel tax questions that come with building a platform used by over 200 million people worldwide-from digital services taxes to multi-entity structuring-and have real ownership over the solutions.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, collaborative, and intellectually curious, with a strong foundation in domestic and global indirect taxation and a desire to contribute to a high-impact tax function.

What you9ll be doing
  • Manage indirect tax compliance end-to-end-prepare, analyze, and monitor Sales and Use tax, VAT/GST, and other obligations across multiple jurisdictions, coordinating with external advisors to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
  • Prepare and review U.S. federal, state, and international corporate income tax returns, and own the quarterly and annual ASC 740 income tax provision process including supporting schedules and documentation.
  • Drive international tax workstreams including transfer pricing documentation, intercompany transactions, cross-border compliance, and tax analysis related to global expansion and new product launches.
  • Manage responses to tax authority notices and audits, and research tax incentives, credits, and legislative developments that impact the company.
  • Prepare month-end and quarter-end close workpapers, reconciliations, and journal entries, including tax reporting and analysis for equity award programs.
  • Serve as the go-to technical resource for the company9s tax technology platforms-administer systems, drive implementation of new tools, and optimize existing compliance software.
  • Identify and execute opportunities to improve tax processes, documentation, internal controls, and automation across the function, and assist with ad-hoc and special tax projects as needed.

What you should have
  • Bachelor9s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 3-6 years of corporate tax experience, preferably in a public accounting firm or technology company
  • Strong understanding of U.S. Sales and Use Tax, Global VAT/GST, and U.S. federal and state corporate income taxation
  • Hands-on experience with ASC 740 income tax provisions
  • Strong analytical skills with a track record of identifying issues, researching tax authority guidance, and driving to resolution
  • Effective communicator who can manage competing priorities and collaborate across Finance, Legal, and Engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications
  • CPA or Master9s in Taxation (MST)
  • Experience with technology or high-growth companies
  • Working knowledge of international tax concepts including transfer pricing, Pillar Two/GloBE rules, and cross-border compliance
  • Hands-on experience with tax technology platforms (e.g., Avalara, Vertex, OneSource, Alteryx, or similar)

This position is US-based and can be remote but if you live in the Bay Area, you9re welcome to work from our beautiful SF office.
