Description
• Tax Research. You will use your excellent tax research skills to quickly locate relevant primary and secondary sources using standard research tools; understand and summarize tax law questions in multiple areas and jurisdictions; evaluate sources for accuracy and currency; efficiently analyze source documents to support your analysis; adapt quickly to researching new jurisdictions and different areas of tax law; and assess the quality and accuracy of AI-generated tax analysis. • Teamwork. You will work with tax lawyers, and alongside a team of analysts and data scientists to develop and improve our AI tools. You will build strong relationships with the entire tax research team and the data science team, working collaboratively and learning from each other. You will thrive in our environment where diverse thoughts are welcome and innovation is encouraged. Experience in machine learning and data science is not required – just an open mind and an eagerness to collaborate. • Strategic thinking. As a core member of our product team, you will have a sense of pride and ownership, constantly thinking strategically and critically about how we can continuously improve the Blue J products. • Evolving based on client needs. Our goal is to work in true partnership with our clients by attending to their feedback, troubleshooting, and incorporating their recommendations to consistently and reliably add value. A key skill in this role is adaptability and openness to new ideas.

Benefits
• An incredibly exciting and rare opportunity to put your accounting or law degree to a unique use. We’re building a revolutionary tool from the ground up, and you will have a meaningful role in shaping what that looks like. • We are flexible! There is the opportunity to work remote-first, but we have an office in downtown Toronto if you prefer to collaborate with other team members in person. You'll occasionally be asked (a few times a year) to attend in-person meetings in Toronto, but beyond that, where you work is up to you! • We’re well-funded and offer competitive base salaries and stock options. You’ll play a crucial role in our growth, and it’s important to us that you share in our long-term success. • We care about you as a whole person. You’ll have a healthy work/life balance and colleagues who respect it. We’ve mindfully put together a great benefits package that covers you and your family. • We’ve got an amazing team. We’re mission-driven and motivated by success, but we’re friendly, we’re collaborative, and we care about each other. We’ve got all the start-up perks you’d expect, and are intentionally building a culture where you can pickleball if you want, feel safe to be yourself at work, and watch your career grow because your team has invested in you.
