Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
The Role
At Sovos, we're looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to help us design, implement, and optimize the enterprise systems and infrastructure that power our global tax compliance platform. You'll be a key technical contributor, working across teams to deliver reliable, scalable, and secure solutions that support both our business and our customers.

- Support automation and deployment efforts using tools such as Terraform, Puppet, Python, Jenkins, and Automox, and leverage AI tools to improve workflows and efficiency.
- Collaborate with architecture, engineering, product, database, and operations teams to deliver end-to-end technical solutions that align with business requirements and operational best practices.
- Create and maintain technical and operational documentation, including low-level design documents, high-availability diagrams, capacity models, network diagrams, storage layouts, disaster recovery plans, and troubleshooting guides.
- Participate in design reviews, planning sessions, and change management activities using tools like Jira Service Management.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing, technical standards, and the continuous improvement of platform reliability and performance.
