Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • As the first dedicated tax hire at Deepgram, you will establish and lead the tax function from the ground up, ensuring compliance and strategic positioning ahead of the company’s first external audit and potential public market readiness.
- • You will own multi-state nexus analysis, define federal tax positions including R&D credit and §174, build international tax foundations covering transfer pricing and GILTI/FDII, and manage sales and use tax compliance across a growing remote workforce and customer base.
- • Partnering closely with the CFO, CAO, and technical accounting leaders, you will collaborate on equity compensation, business combinations, and complex financial instruments while preparing ASC 740 tax provisions and disclosures for audit and S-1 readiness.
- • You will leverage AI extensively in your work — using LLMs for research, memo drafting, nexus analysis, and workflow automation — and are expected to build custom tooling to increase efficiency and scalability.
- • Beyond technical execution, you will mentor and scale the tax team as the company grows, embedding an AI-first, builder’s mindset into the function from day one.
🎯 Requirements
- • Active CPA, JD with tax LLM, or MST with a Big 4 or national firm tax foundation.
- • 8+ years of progressive corporate tax experience with deep fluency in US federal and multi-state tax, plus hands-on international tax including transfer pricing, IP structuring, GILTI/FDII, and intercompany agreements.
- • Proven experience preparing or rebuilding tax provisions, footnotes, and disclosures from scratch, managing external auditors and tax consultants, and comfort with scripting in Python, SQL, or equivalent for automation and data analysis.
- • AI-native working style: daily use of LLMs with the ability to articulate their strengths and limitations in tax contexts.
- • Strong written and verbal communication skills to translate complex tax concepts for non-technical stakeholders, paired with high integrity, ownership, and low ego.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, vision, and mental health support, plus life, STD, and LTD income insurance plans.
- • Unlimited PTO, generous paid parental leave, flexible schedule, 12 paid US company holidays, and stipends for home office upgrades and personal productivity.
- • 401(k) plan with company match, tax savings programs, annual wellness stipend, and continuous learning support via education stipends, conference participation, and AI enablement workshops.
