Job description

Build your future with Sovos.

If you’re seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you’ve come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionizing how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we’re dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges – we’re committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don’t worry if you don’t check all the boxes – apply anyway! We’re focused on hiring the right people, not just the “right” resume. It’s not about what you’ve done elsewhere; it’s all about what you’re capable of doing here.

The Work You’ll Do:

At Sovos, we’re building a world-class financial data platform to support a global tax compliance leader – and the Senior Data Engineer is the foundation it all runs on. In this role, you’ll own the full pipeline stack: from ingestion through transformation, all the way to the finance-trusted, close-ready outputs that FP&A, Accounting, and leadership rely on to make critical decisions. You’ll design and build the Snowflake architecture and dbt model infrastructure that underpins our US topline data chain, and you’ll be the person the team counts on when something needs to be fixed before close. This isn’t just plumbing – it’s high-visibility, high-ownership engineering work with a direct line to business impact. You’ll also play a key role in shaping how AI consumers interact with structured financial data, treating them as first-class stakeholders alongside finance teams.

What We Need From You

• 5–8 years of experience in data engineering, with a track record of building and maintaining production pipelines and dbt projects at scale
• Advanced SQL skills: CTEs, window functions, LATERAL joins, performance tuning, and complex multi-source financial queries
