career.
About The Team
The Stripe Tax team enables our customers to seamlessly calculate,
collect, and remit indirect taxes for the products they sell. Given its
ubiquitous nature, enabling tax for our merchants represents an enormous
opportunity that is applicable to both digital and physical goods
sellers across the world. We are building ways for individuals in and
outside of our payments ecosystem to leverage Stripe Tax so that they
might abstract away the confusing and manual nature of the traditional
sales tax cycle.
