At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges — we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes — apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

 

The Work You'll Do:

At Sovos, we're on a mission to make tax compliance seamless for businesses navigating an increasingly complex regulatory world. As a Regulatory Compliance Engineer II, you'll be at the heart of that mission — owning the quality and accuracy of the tax rules and rates that power our products and that thousands of businesses depend on to stay compliant.

This is a role for someone who thrives on precision, loves digging into complex systems, and takes genuine pride in getting things right every time. You'll develop deep expertise in indirect tax rules, design and run sophisticated testing workflows, and partner with teams across the organization to continuously raise the bar on content quality. If you're energized by the idea that your work directly enables compliance for companies around the globe — and you're excited to bring AI-assisted tools into that process — this is your opportunity.

More specifically, you will:

       Become a critical part of the team tasked with owning and continuously improving our mission-critical tax content quality assurance process

       Develop deep subject matter expertise in indirect tax rules — how they work, what they're intended to do, and how they should behave in software

       Understand how tax rules are translated into tax engine logic, and identify where intent and reality diverge

       Create and review suites of test scenarios (unit, automated, and regression) designed to validate the accuracy and completeness of our content changes

       Design and implement AI-assisted testing workflows to expand coverage and reduce manual effort across the Content QA process

       Collaborate with Product, Development, Client Support, Professional Services, and Compliance Services teams to enable the continued success of our Content QA process

       Support our participation in certified compliance programs such as Streamlined Sales Tax, ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the data we supply to state governments

       Support coordination of our two primary external audits (SOC 1 Type 2) of our tax content and sales tax filing processes in partnership with internal stakeholders across the organization

 

What We Need From You

       Experience working in a software or technology-driven environment

       Genuine interest in understanding the complexity of indirect tax compliance

       Working knowledge of SQL and/or Python

       Experience using AI tools to streamline labor-intensive processes and workflows

       Ability to lead projects and processes with minimal direction, and to hold yourself accountable for outcomes

       Strong collaboration skills and a history of working effectively across teams in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

       Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and make sound prioritization decisions

       A persistent, detail-oriented mindset — the kind of person who investigates discrepancies until they're fully resolved

       Ability to professionally represent Sovos in front of state regulatory authorities and external auditors

       Passionate about accuracy

       Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire

 

What Does Sovos Offer You?

The tools to enhance your life - because we want you to enjoy your life outside of work and inside!

       Flexible Time-Off

       Comprehensive Health, Dental and Vision benefits

       401(k) with employee sponsored match

       Bi-Weekly Meeting Free Days

       Mentoring Programs

       Globally recognized Training and Development programs
