\nWe're looking for an engineer to lead our internal AI agent enablement efforts. You'll build the systems that let AI agents safely and effectively increase velocity across Sphere, starting with engineering and expanding into ops, customer success, tax research, and implementation workflows.
\nWithin days: Ship AI agent features that help Sphere's engineering team use agents more effectively and responsibly. Iterate on versions of Sphere's agent sandbox environments. Create workflows where agents can inspect the codebase, run local infrastructure, make changes, run tests, and prepare work for human review. Work directly with engineers to identify high-leverage internal workflows where agents can create immediate velocity.
\nWithin months: Lead Sphere's internal efforts to enable AI agents to act more autonomously across engineering, ops, customer success, tax research, and implementation. Build 'Goose' for Sphere: the internal AI agent layer that helps agents understand and operate across Sphere's systems. Own the infrastructure, tooling, and workflows that let agents safely take on more complex internal work over time. Establish the patterns for how Sphere uses agents internally, including context, permissions, review, observability, and escalation.

This is a rare opportunity to have an outsized influence on both the product and the customer experience.

\nWe're looking for senior full stack engineers who will own and build out new product lines such as input tax, withholding tax, e-invoicing, and tariffs as well as mission-critical parts of the Sphere platform.
\nWithin weeks, you'll ship mission-critical features that clients will use daily, own and manage a feature, and drive measurable outcomes. You'll work directly with customers to improve and optimize key components of the platform.
\nWithin months, you'll own the end-to-end development of new product lines that will help build out our AI-native revenue-based compliance platform. You'll lead and mentor additional engineers in component areas that you have worked in.
\nYou'll thrive here if you're a dog who's been underestimated, gone through struggle, and never stopped running. You have a chip on your shoulder and enormous drive. You look at Stripe, Deel, and Flexport all punting on compliance and think: good, that means the opportunity is ours. Hunger beats pedigree.
\nYou own it end to end. Give you a goal and you figure out your own path. Small team, global surface area , everyone owns a domain that would be a full team at a larger company. No one tells you how.
\nYou believe speed and accuracy are both possible. We're building a complex product that requires robustness and 100% uptime, and we have to build at our customers' pace. Move fast. Don't break things. Both.
\nBeing in the room is a feature, not a cost. Five days in SF isn't a policy, it's how the work gets done. The speed and density of collaboration we need doesn't survive over video.
