across Finance, ERP, Billing, and Revenue platforms.

The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in Vertex and indirect tax processes

with strong engineering skills across APIs, middleware, and event-driven

across systems

• Partner with Finance, Tax, Revenue Operations, and Engineering to translate

regulatory and business requirements into scalable technical solutions

• Troubleshoot tax calculation issues, integration failures, and reconciliation

discrepancies

• Establish integration standards (API contracts, payload structures, error

handling, monitoring)

• Drive performance, scalability, and compliance in high-volume transaction

environments

• Contribute to architecture reviews and promote engineering best practices
• Ensure audit readiness, strong documentation, and SOX compliance where

applicable

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of 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, compliance)

• Deep knowledge of Vertex configuration (rules, jurisdictions, rates,

exemptions, certificates, reporting)

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

REST/SOAP APIs, middleware, or custom frameworks

• Solid understanding of Quote-to-Cash and Record-to-Report processes
• Strong engineering foundation in API design, data mapping, JSON/XML

transformations, and secure integrations

• Experience with integration platforms (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi, Informatica)
• Strong troubleshooting skills across tax, integration, and financial data

flows

• Experience working in Agile environments with CI/CD and version control (Git)
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance Systems, or a

related field

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience implementing Vertex in SaaS or subscription-based business models
• Familiarity with revenue systems (e.g., RevPro) and billing platforms
• Experience designing scalable tax architectures for global operations
• Knowledge of compliance controls, audit processes, and financial system

governance

• Exposure to enterprise data platforms and reporting tools
