• Understand how tax rules are translated into tax engine logic and identify where intent and reality diverge.
• Create and review suites of test scenarios including unit, automated, and regression tests designed to validate the accuracy and completeness of content changes.
• Work with team members to design and implement AI-assisted testing workflows to expand coverage and reduce manual effort across the content quality assurance process.

• Collaborate with Product, Development, Client Support, Professional Services, and Compliance Services teams to enable the continued success of our content quality assurance process.
• Support our participation in certified compliance programs such as Streamlined Sales Tax, ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the data we supply to state governments.
• Support coordination of our two primary external audits (SOC 1 Type 2) of our tax content and sales tax filing processes.
