Hi! We're the engineering team at TaxJar. We obsessively leverage technology and automation to solve a problem no one wants to deal with: sales tax. TaxJar got its start in 2013. Today, more than 20,000 customers later, we're a profitable company with a mission to make eCommerce easier for everyone. We know that a happy team means happy customers, so we’re intentional about creating incredible experiences for both our customers and our teammates. We believe in a few things above all else: treating people with respect, building the absolute best product, and helping people reach their potential. We’ve always been committed to hiring the best and brightest to join us, and we support a team where diversity thrives.
