				Overview:

Avalara is an AI-first company. We expect every engineer to use AI to enhance productivity, quality, innovation, and customer value. AI is embedded in our workflows, decision making, and products - and success at Avalara requires embracing AI as an essential capability, not an optional tool.

Are you passionate about VAT research and excited by the intersection of tax and technology? We're looking for a tech savvy individual to join our Indirect Tax team at a fast-growing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company. You'll dive into complex legal and compliance issues related to VAT, contribute to tax solutions, and grow your professional skills in a collaborative work environment.

You will report to the Manager, Indirect Tax.

Responsibilities:

* Research and interpret VAT/GST laws and regulations, including reporting and remittance requirements, to keep Avalara tax automation products in compliance with international tax laws.
* Maintain existing taxability rules for assigned jurisdictions by overseeing tax law changes and converting these changes into both human readable explanations and machine-readable formats using the latest AI-enabled proprietary technology.
* Conduct unit tests to validate the results of transactions before deployment.
* Collaborate with product management and engineering teams to implement solutions.
* Thoroughly document research findings, providing comprehensive summaries and legal citations.
* Identify opportunities for process automation, tooling optimization, and reducing redundancy to enhance efficiency.
* Use AI copilots, code generation tools, and assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AmazonQ, ChatGPT) to improve coding efficiency, testing, documentation, and prototyping.
* Upskill in AI-related technologies applicable to daily work.

Qualifications:

* A bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in law, accounting, finance, or economics with 7+ years of experience in indirect tax in advisory or consulting roles.
* Excellent research skills, including a logical, creative, and detailed approach to drilling down to specific data to surface information that is important to the accuracy of the published content.
