We’re looking for a front end engineer at Sphere to help build out our global tax compliance platform!

About Sphere

Sphere helps US software companies manage their global sales tax / VAT / GST compliance requirements.

Companies like Runway AI choose our platform because we’re the only product that offers true global coverage, is easy to implement and reasonably priced.

We're growing rapidly (30%+ MoM revenue growth) and have signed customers like Runway AI, , Replit, ElevenLabs, Weaviate, Zeplin, Sierra AI, Codeium, Ideogram + many more
We're building the world's first tax-focused LLMs (which will be the foundation for a broader cross border compliance platform; think Deel for international billing)
We're well funded by Felicis Ventures and the founders of Flexport, Lyft, Betterup, Go1 and Xendit

Why this is a massive opportunity

🌍 The market is enormous: This is a ‘need to have’ solution for every business around the world once they hit a certain stage. It’s becoming increasingly hard to ignore (see below) and if businesses don’t collect and remit indirect tax, they end up paying for it out of pocket later.

🌬️ Strong macro tailwinds: Businesses are going global earlier and earlier and they’re not equipped to deal with cross border compliance. Additionally, tax authorities are clamping down on cross border tax compliance which means demand for this solution will continue to grow (e.g. EU forcing payment processors to hand over tax evaders from April 1, 2024).

✨ AI can change the game - a lot of processes related to tax compliance / research have been extremely manual and cumbersome to date. That’s why incumbents like Avalara, Vertex (and newer players like Anrok) haven’t been able to move outside the US. We think LLMs can change that.

🔮 Product vision: We believe that tax-focused LLMs will be the foundation of a broader cross border compliance platform that help businesses go global from day 1. We want to be the Deel for international billing.
