- Design and operate robust, SOX-compliant data pipelines and tooling (SQL, Python, cloud data warehouse, orchestration) with monitoring, alerting, and documentation that enable audit-ready transparency.
- Lead cross-functional projects from discovery to delivery—translate tax requirements into technical solutions, manage roadmaps and priorities, and communicate progress, risks, and results to stakeholders at every level.

- 3+ years configuring and integrating enterprise tax engines (e.g., Avalara, Vertex, Sovos) via APIs within transactional systems and services.
- Advanced SQL (3+ years) and Python (2+ years) for data processing, automation, and building production-grade workflows.
- 2+ years building and operating ETL/ELT pipelines in a cloud data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift) with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow or dbt), including experience implementing SOX-compliant controls and supporting audits.
