Job Description

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. You will tackle the unique challenges that occur at the intersection of software and people driven tasks and apply these solutions to the novel business automation that Avalara aims to create.
Industry Leadership: Avalara is the market leader, and we intend on staying that way. That means we cannot be complacent. We actively encourage everyone to make bold moves and keep testing their limits. We expect you to innovate and produce innovative ideas to make things better.

Develop and execute a comprehensive integration strategy for connecting our tax-based solution with a range of ERPs and eCommerce platforms.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align integration efforts with overall product and business goals.
Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of skilled engineers, providing guidance on best practices, architecture, and development methodologies.
Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and accountability within the engineering teams.
Leverage your deep understanding of ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) and eCommerce platforms (e.g., Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce) to design and implement robust integrations.
Ensure seamless data flow and real-time synchronization between systems, minimizing latency and ensuring data integrity for an ever-growing client-base and increasing data volumes.
Drive the design and development of high-quality, scalable, and maintainable integration solutions.
Oversee the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and design to implementation, testing, deployment, and post-release support.
Build POCs to demonstrate the technical solution feasibility.
Focus on security aspects, observability, scalability, and telemetry.
Perform code reviews and ensure coding standards and practices are followed.
Implement and follow agile/scrum processes.
