Role
Who you are
- Exceptional product craft. You care deeply about interaction design, visual quality, motion, and the details that make products feel effortless
- Strong systems thinking. You can design both individual experiences and the larger product architecture behind them
- Experience building design systems. You've created or significantly evolved systems that scale across products and teams
- Complex product experience. You've designed sophisticated B2B, enterprise, fintech, developer, or infrastructure products where simplifying complexity was central to your work
- AI curiosity. You're excited about designing AI-native experiences that solve real customer problems, not just adding AI for its own sake
- A strong portfolio. Your work demonstrates end-to-end ownership, clear thinking, and measurable impact, not just polished visuals
- Collaborative mindset. You communicate clearly, challenge ideas thoughtfully, and enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams

- Think in systems. Design scalable foundations, contribute to our new design system, and create patterns that enable future products

Our take
It's never been simpler to set up a business online. Tools like Stripe, Intercom, and Twilio have enabled entrepreneurs to sell to millions of consumers and businesses across borders. But managing tax compliance remains a minefield that gets even more intense as companies grow and scale internationally.
Fonoa removes the challenge of managing indirect taxes from the everyday business of digital-native companies, with a suite of plug-and-play products that make up its global tax compliance platform. Since launching in 2018, the company has expanded its product suite heavily and secured big-name clients such as Booking.com, Spotify, Teachable, Uber and Zoom.
With strong funding under its belt and the 2026 acquisition of global tax compliance company Indirect Tax Edge (Edge), Fonoa has continued to develop towards becoming a fully international player offering services on a global scale. The company is focusing on a full tax stack approach for growth, prioritising technology to suit the digital business models of today. Through this, Fonoa is well-poised to tackle an almost unending market that has catapulted other startups to Unicorn status.
