Engineering Manager, Platform and AI Infrastructure

📋 Job Overview

Anrok is the leading tax automation platform enabling businesses to expand globally without compliance complexity. As the digital economy has grown 6x over the last decade, software businesses have gone from not worrying about sales tax to needing to monitor exposure, calculate rates, and file returns across 50 US jurisdictions and 100+ countries. This creates a critical bottleneck for companies that should be able to transact with customers everywhere. Anrok eliminates this complexity by connecting with billing and payment systems to automate tax monitoring, calculations, and filing end-to-end. Our unified platform handles the ever-changing maze of tax laws at municipal, state, and federal levels—so companies can focus on growth, not compliance.

🏢 About Anrok

Our customers include 40% of Forbes Top 50 AI companies, 20% of Forbes Top 100 Cloud companies, and top companies like Notion, Anthropic, and Cursor. We're making compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small, backed by over $100M from leading investors including Sequoia, Spark, Index, and Khosla Ventures.

🎯 The Role

As the Platform and AI Infrastructure Engineering Manager, you'll own the shared systems and AI infrastructure on which the rest of Anrok builds on. As we grow, well-designed platform spanning authn and authz, RBAC, FGAC, audit trails and more, along with AI infrastructure is the backbone that lets every other team move fast without compromising the compliance workflows our customers depend on. You have the opportunity to drive execution and strategy for an exceptional team, help shape the product roadmap, and coach and develop senior engineers. We work primarily in TypeScript and React, but prior experience is not required.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Hire, manage, and grow a talented team building the platform and AI infrastructure that powers Anrok's product.
• Set the product and technical strategy, while driving processes for high quality execution.
• Write and review code alongside the engineers on the team as needed.
• Foster a collaborative and healthy culture of feedback, opportunity, and growth for the team.
• Contribute to the Anrok engineering culture and initiatives.
• Find appropriate uses of AI in both the creation of automations or as the automation itself.
• Help grow the team—mentoring engineers, contributing to technical culture, and raising the bar on how we build.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams, with significant experience as a software engineer.
• Track record of figuring out how to set individuals and teams up for success.
• You enjoy coding and have strong technical acumen to guide the team through product and technical decisions.
• Experience building AI infrastructure—you've built and operated the systems beneath LLM-powered or agentic products in production, and you understand firsthand what makes them reliable and maintainable at scale.
• A track record of building shared services and components that support internal engineering teams—the foundational primitives and tooling that the rest of the org builds on, designed to make every other team faster.
• You’re curious and motivated to learn new tools — you've experimented with AI in your work or on your own, you're excited about what's possible, and you've built something with it (an application, a workflow, a creative solution to a real problem) that you can walk us through.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with TypeScript and React.
