Taxwire is building the last global sales tax platform. We help companies understand tax exposure, automate compliance, and shield their business from risk across every jurisdiction, industry, and edge case.
Our Mission: To solve global transaction taxes completely for businesses and governments around the world. ****Sales tax, VAT, tariffs, duties, gross receipts, transfer tax, etc. have become exponentially more complex as digital commerce and regulatory demands grow. Most companies rely on a mix of legacy software, manual processes, and human services to fully manage their global tax burdens. We believe that solving for enterprise-grade tax compliance requires re-building core infrastructure from the ground up: from source tax law to automated calculation, filings, and remittance.
Our approach: Taxwire re-built the enterprise-grade tax engine from zero. Our platform can monitor, calculate, file, remit, and explain taxes across the full spectrum of complexity faced by mid-market and enterprise customers. We cover multiple industries, support both US and international taxes, calculate at a rooftop level, automate traditional services, and more.
Why it matters: Customers choose tax platforms based on coverage, trust, ease, and price. Most solutions force trade-offs. Taxwire delivers broad coverage across: industries, jurisdictions, and tax types; rooftop-level accuracy and traceability for audit-proof compliance, fast implementations without bloated service layers, and fair pricing relative to value. We keep our customers compliant and protect them from risk.
Our customers: We serve finance teams at companies like Pulley, Italic, TopoftheMornin Coffee, Pirate Wires and partner with accounting firms like Graphite Financial, Rivet Tax, Integrated CPA, and many more. To date, we’ve had 0 churn and our customers love us.
Our investors: We’ve raised ~$13M from XYZ Ventures, Headline, Vinyl, Recall Capital, J Ventures, Nomo Ventures, Expansion Capital, Siqi Chen (Runway.com CEO), Michael Bock (Column Tax CTO), Joel Newbert (VP of Finance @ Decagon), Justin Mares (Founder @ Kettle & Fire, Perfect Keto, Truemed), Mike Rosengarten (OpenGov co-founder), Erik Torenberg (Village Global, On Deck, a16z), and many others.
We’re looking for a skilled, experienced, and motivated Founding Backend Engineer to join our team. This role is focused on backend infrastructure, systems architecture, and core product logic. Full stack experience is a plus, but not required.
You’ll work closely with our founders, engineers, and tax SMEs to architect and build the foundational systems that power Taxwire — from our data model and automation pipelines to real-time tax calculation and compliance logic. You’ll play a key role in defining the internal platform that enables our team to ship faster, automate more, and scale globally.
This is a great role for someone who thrives on complexity and wants to help build something important from the ground up. If you’ve ever nerded out over how Stripe, Rippling, or Modern Treasury abstract complicated domains, this is that kind of role.
