A valid CPA (Certified Public Accountant) license or Enrolled Agent (EA) credential is required to represent the company before the IRS.

Responsibilities

• Oversee U.S. federal, state, and local tax compliance and planning, including corporate income, franchise, sales and use, and other applicable taxes.
• Calculate tax liabilities, prepare and file U.S. tax returns, and manage tax matters related to equity plans, employees, and contractor arrangements.
• Ensure the proper U.S. tax treatment of employee benefits, compensation, and welfare programs.
• Conduct U.S. tax due diligence for acquisitions and support the tax-efficient structuring and integration of transactions.
• Monitor changes in U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws, identify tax-saving opportunities such as R&D credits, and liaise with the IRS, state tax authorities, and external advisors.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for impact. You’ll play a key role in shaping the future of a company with sky-high ambitions—and the track record to match.
• Lead the US expansion of one of Europe’s most successful tech companies. Bending Spoons has earned a strong reputation for its strategy, expertise, culture, and talent. As a leader, you’ll help guide a company valued at several billion toward even greater success.
