Job Description:
The Tax Artificial Intelligence Manager leads the engineering team responsible for building and evolving an AI-enabled application platform that supports document processing, workflow automation, AI-assisted analysis, and internal and external user-facing applications for tax. This role sits at the intersection of software architecture and AI/technology execution, partnering with product owners, business subject matter experts (SMEs), security, and infrastructure teams to translate real “jobs to be done” into secure, scalable, enterprise-grade software.
Tax domain knowledge is not required. The successful candidate should be comfortable learning business workflows from subject matter experts and translating those workflows into reliable software systems. You will own technical direction across backend services, asynchronous processing, AI integrations, cloud infrastructure, data persistence, security, and observability, balancing speed, quality, risk, and maintainability.
Architecture & Technical Leadership
Lead the architecture, design, and delivery of AI-enabled software products and internal platforms, owning decisions across backend services, async processing, AI integrations, cloud, data, and security.
Team Leadership & Mentorship
Manage and mentor software engineers, quality assurance professionals, and business analyst, providing technical guidance, code review, delivery planning, and career development.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Own cloud architecture on Microsoft Azure, including async and event-driven workloads, background jobs, and reliable, cost-effective operations.
Security & Data Protection
Ensure secure handling of data, secrets, authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, encrypted storage, and auditability.
Delivery & Engineering Excellence
Improve engineering practices around testing, CI/CD, monitoring, deployment, documentation, and operational support.
Establish development standards for clean architecture, dependency injection, async design, and API consistency.
Make pragmatic architecture decisions that balance speed, quality, risk, and long-term maintainability.
Coach and develop engineers, quality assurance professionals, and business analyst, supporting career growth and strong delivery habits.
AI Integration & Document Processing
Establish responsible, repeatable patterns for prompting, embeddings, semantic search, and AI evaluation within controlled enterprise tools.
Cloud, Async & Operations
Support production troubleshooting, performance tuning, cost management, and reliability improvements.
Ensure secure handling of data, secrets, identity, authorization, tenant isolation, encrypted storage, and audit logging.
Stakeholders & Collaboration Model
This role partners across:
Security, compliance, and infrastructure teams (identity, governance, approved tooling)
Our platform is built on the following stack. Depth across every item is not expected; familiarity with the core backend and Azure ecosystem matters most.
Cloud & Platform (Microsoft Azure)
DevOps, Testing & Observability
Frontend / UI (lightweight)
2+ years leading engineers as an engineering manager, technical lead, staff engineer, or architecture lead.
Familiarity with CI/CD, automated testing, code review, release management, and production support.
Strong security mindset across secrets management, identity, authorization, encryption, and auditability.
Experience building AI-enabled or LLM-powered applications (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI APIs, prompt engineering, embeddings, semantic search, or AI evaluation).
Experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, and API gateway patterns.
Experience with financial, accounting, tax, compliance, or professional services workflows is helpful but not required.
We expect the candidate to uphold Crowe’s values of Care, Trust, Courage, and Stewardship. These values define who we are. We expect all of our people to act ethically and with integrity at all times.
