Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams, with significant experience as a software engineer
- Track record of figuring out how to set individuals and teams up for success
- You enjoy coding and have strong technical acumen to guide the team through product and technical decisions
- Experience building AI infrastructure—you've built and operated the systems beneath LLM-powered or agentic products in production, and you understand firsthand what makes them reliable and maintainable at scale
- A track record of building shared services and components that support internal engineering teams—the foundational primitives and tooling that the rest of the org builds on, designed to make every other team faster
- You’re curious and motivated to learn new tools — you've experimented with AI in your work or on your own, you're excited about what's possible, and you've built something with it (an application, a workflow, a creative solution to a real problem) that you can walk us through
What the job involves
- As the Platform and AI Infrastructure Engineering Manager, you'll own the shared systems and AI infrastructure on which the rest of Anrok builds on
- As we grow, well-designed platform spanning authn and authz, RBAC, FGAC, audit trails and more, along with AI infrastructure is the backbone that lets every other team move fast without compromising the compliance workflows our customers depend on
- You have the opportunity to drive execution and strategy for an exceptional team, help shape the product roadmap, and coach and develop senior engineers. We work primarily in TypeScript and React, but prior experience is not required
- Hire, manage, and grow a talented team building the platform and AI infrastructure that powers Anrok's product
- Set the product and technical strategy, while driving processes for high quality execution
- Write and review code alongside the engineers on the team as needed
- Foster a collaborative and healthy culture of feedback, opportunity, and growth for the team
- Contribute to the Anrok engineering culture and initiatives
- Find appropriate uses of AI in both the creation of automations or as the automation itself
- Help grow the team—mentoring engineers, contributing to technical culture, and raising the bar on how we build
Our take
Software is becoming an increasingly taxable enterprise, in increasingly nuanced and jurisdiction-specific ways thanks to new rulings in the late 2010s. SaaS companies need to keep track of both their physical and economic nexuses, leaving many companies scrambling to stay compliant. Anrok has developed a simple API-based solution to help companies get there.
Anrok's no-code, out-of-the-box tool helps businesses easily calculate sales tax monitoring, calculation, and remittance wherever their product is used, and easily identify new exposures. It’s a simple solution to a complex problem, and the result for Anrok has been impressive funding and strong growth in the short few years it’s been in operation.
This will in part be thanks to the company’s astute pricing model: much like SaaS businesses themselves, it’s based on demand. This makes it scalable enough to encompass both smaller and enterprise SaaS clients. This, in turn, means Anrok’s addressable market within the SaaS sector is substantial. And that’s a sector that in itself is continuing to see remarkable growth. All this makes it a promising, and as of yet fairly unchallenged, position that Anrok is carving out.
