About the role
Own jurisdictions end to end - account prep ahead of filing, original filings, monitoring failed and late payments, and late originals and amendments when things break. You'll get full visibility into the system and where the patterns that drive account maintenance live. File, pay, amend, and refile to exercise the system yourself, and proactively update filing specs and systems as regulations change.
What they're looking for
- 3–5 years of experience in operations or a regulated environment
- A track record of ramping into a new function or domain fast — you've picked up a new system, process, or subject area from scratch in a past role and gotten productive quickly, not just adapted to small changes within a job you already knew inside and out
- Comfort managing your own pipeline of work: prioritizing across multiple jurisdictions and deadlines without someone assigning your day for you
- A track record of noticing when something's broken and doing something about it. Fixing it yourself when you can, writing it up clearly when you can't
- Genuine curiosity about AI and internal tooling. You've used AI to speed up your own work before, or you're itching to
- Strong written communication: you'll be turning friction into requirements, so you need to write clearly enough that someone in R&D who's never filed a tax return can act on it

Payroll is broken. It's still running on decades-old infrastructure. We're rebuilding it.
We don't run payroll ourselves — we power the businesses that do. As the inventors of embedded payroll, we're redefining how people get paid and making it easier for those businesses to launch, grow, and thrive.
On our team, you'll use creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and grit to simplify the complexity of payroll for thousands of employers of every size, across all industries. We ignore conventional role boundaries in favor of the unique strengths and values each builder brings to our mission: make paying people simple . Check out our origin story!
Check is far more than just API infrastructure. We’re a springboard for building and scaling payroll businesses. See how it works for our partners.
Payroll runs through the Tax Filing & Payments Team, and we're changing the way it gets done. In a conventional approach, adding more payees means also adding ever-more operators, to do more of the same manual work. We're building the opposite: a team that constantly pushes filing and payments out of people's hands and into software, piece by piece, to process payroll and file taxes at...
