About the role
Software Engineer at Anrok
Anrok is the leading tax automation platform enabling businesses to expand globally without compliance complexity. As the digital economy has grown 6x over the last decade, software businesses have gone from not worrying about sales tax to needing to monitor exposure, calculate rates, and file returns across 50 US jurisdictions and 100+ countries. This creates a critical bottleneck for companies that should be able to transact with customers everywhere. Anrok eliminates this complexity by connecting with billing and payment systems to automate tax monitoring, calculations, and filing end-to-end. Our unified platform handles the ever-changing maze of tax laws at municipal, state, and federal levels—so companies can focus on growth, not compliance.
Our Customers Include
- 40% of Forbes Top 50 AI companies
- 20% of Forbes Top 100 Cloud companies
- Top companies like Notion, Anthropic, and Cursor
We're making compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small, backed by over $100M from leading investors including Sequoia, Spark, Index, and Khosla Ventures.
As a Software Engineer, you will collaborate with coworkers to deeply understand customer needs, design thoughtful systems that solve real-world problems, and build best-in-class product experiences. Our stack is TypeScript (frontend and backend), Postgres, and React, but prior experience is not required.
In this role, you will
- Own the scoping, design, and development of product features.
- Identify and fix bugs and technical debt.
- Collaborate with Support to address technical issues for customers
What excites us
- You have a strong technical background, with 7+ years of experience working as a software engineer and 4+ years of experience building web application backends.
- Experience with frontend development is a plus, but not required.
- 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.
- You’re curious and motivated to learn new tools — you've experimented with AI in your work or on your own, you're excited about what's possible, and you've built something with it (an application, a workflow, a creative solution to a real problem) that you can walk us through.
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.
- One Medical annual membership.
- 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.
At Anrok, we embrace a dynamic and flexible hybrid work environment based out of our growing office hubs - San Francisco, New York City, and Salt Lake City where we collaborate in-person 3 days per week. For employees located outside of these hub cities, we offer a fully remote setup, U.S only.
