Whether you're passionate about building highly scalable and reliable systems, working with cutting edge technology, or a software developer who likes to solve business problems, Tax Services is the place for you. We are responsible for the Product classification for Tax, vending tax classifications as a key component of a downstream tax and fee calculation. The team has continuously worked to achieve the highest possible classification accuracy while prioritizing the flexibility to comply with next day legislation changes. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to all parts of the software development and deployment lifecycle, including design, development, documentation, testing, and operations. They must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. They need to really enjoy working closely with their peers in a group of very smart and talented engineers. We're looking for people who are smart and can get things done, though the following skill sets provide a good foundation for a quick ramp up to being productive in our Java, Linux and AWS-based environment. We're looking for a range of experience, from brilliant and motivated new college graduates to technical leaders with the scars and battle-tested wisdom.
