Role Description

• DET IT is looking for a Senior Member of the Technical Staff (SMTS) to join our
• IT Finance Engineering team.
• This role is focused primarily on designing, implementing, and optimizing
• enterprise tax solutions using Vertex, with strong engineering knowledge of
• system integrations across Finance, ERP, Billing, and Revenue platforms.
• The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in Vertex configuration and indirect
• tax processes (Sales & Use Tax, VAT/GST), combined with hands-on technical
• experience integrating Vertex with enterprise systems via APIs, middleware, and
• event-driven architectures.

• This is not a middleware-only role — it is a tax systems engineering role with
• integration architecture responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end implementation and enhancement of Vertex tax solutions across

enterprise Finance and Revenue systems.

• Configure and optimize Vertex O Series / tax calculation engines, including

tax rules, jurisdictions, exemptions, and reporting.

• Design and implement integrations between Vertex and ERP, Billing, Revenue

Recognition, and Order Management systems.

• Define tax data flows, transaction mapping, and reconciliation controls

across upstream and downstream systems.

• Collaborate with Finance, Tax, Revenue Operations, and Engineering teams to

translate regulatory and business requirements into scalable technical

designs.

• Troubleshoot tax calculation discrepancies, integration failures, and

reconciliation issues.

• Define integration standards including API contracts, payload structures,

error handling frameworks, and monitoring strategies.

• Drive performance optimization, scalability, and compliance across

high-volume transaction environments.

• Participate in architecture reviews and guide engineering best practices for

tax system integrations.

• Ensure audit readiness, documentation quality, and SOX compliance where

applicable.

Required Skills

• 8+ years of hands-on experience implementing and supporting Vertex tax

solutions in enterprise environments.

• Strong expertise in indirect tax domains: Sales & Use Tax, VAT, GST,

cross-border taxation, exemptions, and compliance.

• Deep functional and technical knowledge of Vertex configuration (rules,

jurisdictions, rates, exemptions, certificates, reporting).

• Experience integrating Vertex with ERP, billing, and revenue systems using

REST/SOAP APIs, middleware platforms, or custom integration frameworks.

• Strong understanding of Quote-to-Cash and Record-to-Report processes.

• Solid engineering background with experience in API design, data mapping,

JSON/XML transformations, and secure integrations.

• Experience with integration technologies (MuleSoft, Boomi, Informatica, or

similar) — expertise in one is sufficient; not platform-dependent.

• Strong troubleshooting skills across tax, integration, and financial data

flows.

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments with CI/CD practices and

version control (GIT).

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance Systems, or

related field.

Desired Skills

• Experience implementing Vertex in high-volume SaaS or subscription-based

business models.

• Familiarity with revenue systems such as RevPro and billing platforms.

• Experience designing scalable tax integration patterns for global operations.

• Knowledge of compliance controls, audit processes, and financial system

governance.

• Exposure to enterprise data platforms and reporting tools.
