Performance Objectives

Here are some of the things we expect you to do when you join us:

Integrations and Connectors: Dig into our cloud native Avalara product suite. We are looking to build and expand our market penetration through an extensive suite of integrations and connectors through a flexible, extensible platform capable of handling any source platforms. At the same time, we want to expose all the tax nuances through our integrations. Help us build and manage the team building this while maximizing performance, scalability and reliability and making it “oh-so-simple” to operate.
Automation vs People Power: Computers are great for process automation but there is a limit to what it can do, and you know where that limit is.
