Anrok • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Anrok is the leading AI-driven tax automation platform enabling businesses to expand globally without compliance complexity. As the digital economy has grown 6x over the last decade, software businesses have gone from not worrying about sales tax to needing to monitor exposure, calculate rates, and file returns across 20+ US states and many countries worldwide. This creates a critical bottleneck for companies that should be able to transact with customers everywhere. Anrok eliminates this complexity by connecting with billing and payment systems to automate tax monitoring, calculations, and filing end-to-end. Our unified platform handles the ever-changing maze of tax laws at municipal, state, and federal levels—so companies can focus on growth, not compliance.

Our customers include:
40% of Forbes Top 50 AI companies
20% of Forbes Top 100 Cloud companies
Top companies like Notion, Anthropic, and Cursor

We're making compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small, backed by over $50M from leading investors including Sequoia, Index, and Khosla Ventures.

We're seeking a Solutions Engineer to drive revenue growth by guiding strategic customers through complex technical integrations. You'll be instrumental in moving Anrok upmarket, working at the intersection of sales, product, and engineering to close deals and ensure successful implementations. You'll become the technical expert customers rely on by mastering our API capabilities, understanding complete quote-to-cash workflows, and developing deep expertise in sales tax compliance and third-party billing integrations (Stripe, NetSuite, and more).

Working closely with Sales, Activation, and Product/Engineering teams, you'll bridge the gap between technical possibility and business outcomes. You'll help drive continued rapid growth and establish Anrok as the definitive solution for software sales tax automation.
