United States onlyEnable Internet businesses to sell across borders
We’re tackling a key challenge for all Internet businesses today: navigating the changing landscape of tax. In the last few years, software businesses have gone from not having to worry about sales tax, to needing to monitor their exposure, calculate local sales tax rates, and file returns in over 20 US states and many countries worldwide.
So much of our economy today and tomorrow exists online. The internet economy has grown 6x over the last 10 years and software development productivity is only positioned to accelerate. Companies should be able to transact with customers everywhere. Anrok is building the tools behind the scenes that make compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small.
Anrok connects with billing and payment systems to automate sales tax compliance end-to-end. We have raised over $50M from leading investors like Sequoia, Index, and Khosla Ventures.
In this role you'll design, build, and operate the systems that support our product and the engineers who build it. We're looking for someone who wants to own their impact and find simple solutions to complex problems that are tailored to our needs. We use GCP, Pulumi, Postgres, and TypeScript, but prior experience is not required.
In this role, you will:
Take responsibility for Anrok's reliability, security, scalability, and performance.
Drive technical decisions about our infrastructure.
Identify and fix bugs and technical debt.
Collaborate with other engineers and management to build high-impact solutions.
Example project areas:
Improve system observability and provide tools to enable product engineers to own application observability.
Scale our database layer through sharding, replication, and splitting out services when it makes sense.
Refactor existing systems to take into account present and evolving needs.
What excites us:
You have a strong technical background, with 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
You have 3+ years of experience operating cloud-deployed software at scale using config-as-code.
Experience managing relational databases at scale is a plus, but not required.
You have a security mindset and think carefully about edge cases.
You think through problems thoroughly to ensure we're building the right solution to the right problem at the right time, and you will push back when necessary.
Your designs take into account current and future needs, technical debt, and maintenance, and you can clearly articulate the tradeoffs.
You level up the people around you by sharing your knowledge and experience.
What we offer:
The equity upside of an early-stage startup with the product-market fit of a later-stage company.
Daily lunch and snacks for those working out of our San Francisco office.
Medical, dental, and vision insurance covered 100%.
One Medical membership covered, flexible sick benefits and more.
Annual learning and development stipend for books, online courses, and conferences, as well as a curious team to share your learnings with.
Annual team offsites and in-person opportunities around our growing Anrok hubs.
Home office setup stipend to ensure you have the equipment you need to thrive at work.
For employees based in one of our hub cities such as San Francisco, New York, or Salt Lake City, we follow a hybrid model. Team members in these locations come into the office three days a week to collaborate in person and stay connected with their teams.
For employees located outside of these hub cities, we offer a fully remote setup U.S only.
