About the Role

Want to build systems that power one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms? We are looking for engineers who love solving complex, real-world problems at massive scale. Our team builds the core tax calculation and invoicing platform that ensures accurate, compliant transactions across global marketplaces - covering sales tax, VAT, and tax invoicing for physical and digital products.

Every calculation matters. We operate in a fast-moving regulatory landscape where tax laws and rates change constantly, and our systems must deliver precision at high throughput - every single time.

• Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain scalable software solutions focused on performance, cost efficiency, and security
• Write high-quality, production-grade distributed systems software
• Apply software engineering best practices to ensure consistently high-quality deliverables
• Work in an agile environment where priorities are clear and impact is immediate
• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle - from design and documentation to testing and operations

What We are Looking For

We are hiring software engineers who thrive on complexity and take pride in operating mission-critical, high-availability systems. You should be self-driven, a good communicator (both written and verbal), and energized by collaborating with talented peers in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Technical Foundation

• Good experience with object-oriented programming languages
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments
• Experience with relational database systems
• Background in building or operating large-scale distributed systems
