## Job description

Company

Founded by CPAs, tax attorneys, and engineers, Taxbit is the leading innovator automating global tax reporting for the digital economy. Taxbit's AI-enabled platform streamlines compliance related to digital assets, payments, and other financial transactions. Its unique combination of deep subject matter expertise and AI-forward technology have made it a fast-growing disruptor trusted by the world's leading fintechs, marketplaces, digital asset players, Big 4 accounting firms, traditional enterprises, and government agencies. Backed by top-tier Silicon Valley VCs, Taxbit's team is located across offices in San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Salt Lake City, London, Madrid, and Singapore.

Opportunity for Impact

We welcome individuals who are humble, hungry, and excited to tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges at the intersection of compliance and regulation!
