THE ROLEWe're looking for an international VAT / GST subject matter expert to work with our AI, engineering, and tax teams to help further expand our international capabilities.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Be the go-to indirect tax expert for internationally based businesses selling cross-border.
- Collaborate with the AI team and engineering to maintain and expand our AI-native, global tax engine, enabling support for new products and jurisdictions.
- Help our systems track global regulatory changes and translate them into simple, actionable solutions for our clients.
- Push the frontiers of AI technology to help redefine tax research
REQUIREMENTS- Deep expertise in global VAT, with a focus on cross-border transactions across EMEA.
- Hands-on experience with global tax engines, ERP/tax integrations, and indirect tax technology platforms.
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and system integrators to implement scalable tax solutions.
- Skilled at interpreting complex foreign tax regulations and translating them into structured, automatable tax logic.
NICE TO HAVES- Prior or active relationships with government authorities
- LATAM, Canada, or APAC experience
- Previous startup experience
WHO YOU AREYou'll thrive here if:
- You're a Dog. You've been underestimated, gone through struggle, and never stopped running. You have a chip on your shoulder and enormous drive. You look at Stripe, Deel, and Flexport all punting on compliance and think: good, that means the opportunity is ours. Hunger beats pedigree.
- Early stage is in your bones. You've built things where there's no playbook and nobody handing you the answer. You define the problem instead of waiting for instructions.
- You own it end to end. Give you a goal and you figure out your own path. Small team, global surface area - everyone owns a domain that would be a full team at a larger company. No one tells you how.
- You believe speed and accuracy are both possible. We're building a complex product that requires robustness and 100% uptime, and we have to build at our customers' pace. Move fast. Don't break things. Both.
This won't be a fit if:
- You need structure handed to you or ambiguity feels draining rather than motivating
- You want to manage people more than own hard problems (we're a flat, experienced team - everyone builds)
- You're used to "good enough" shipping (small errors have outsized impact here)
