Senior Manager, Tax - VAT

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.

• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Build the financial infrastructure from the ground up (NetSuite, Zip, Shareworks, Pigment).

• Stand up a lean finance org for the fastest-growing data center hyperscaler.

• Own the full stack from vendor invoice to cap table.

• Own indirect tax globally: VAT, GST, and sales and use tax across a multi-entity, multi-country footprint.

• Build compliance from the ground up: registrations, filings, and reclaim processes in every jurisdiction we build in.

• Advise on transaction structuring, equipment imports, cross-border services, and intercompany flows before the invoice exists.

• Automate determination and filing so compliance scales with entities, not headcount.

• The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've owned VAT or indirect tax for a multinational, in-house or in advisory.

• You've stood up registrations and filings in new countries under deadline.

• You've recovered material VAT through reclaim processes you built.

• You give business teams the answer before the transaction, not the correction after.

• You work the systems: tax engines, ERP tax codes, and e-invoicing mandates.

• Bonus: US sales and use tax on data center equipment. EU and UK VAT depth. Avalara or Vertex. Customs interplay.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
