Your Role :

Own the tax product lifecycle at a rapidly scaling self-clearing broker-dealer.

Your mission is to build and operate the systems, vendor relationships, and processes that keep Alpaca accurate, compliant, and on time across every tax obligation, from daily cost basis tracking through annual 1099 delivery and IRS filing. You will ensure that tax operations scale reliably as Alpaca adds new asset classes, account types, and partner institutions.

Things You Get To Do :

• Own Tax Reporting End-to-End: Drive the product roadmap for IRS reporting (1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC, 1042-S) and state-level requirements. Define timelines, acceptance criteria, and quality gates that ensure on-time, accurate filings year after year.
• Vendor Management: Own relationships with tax technology vendors, and manage ongoing performance.
• Meet Critical Tax Deadlines: Build the cross-functional calendar for tax season, track dependencies across Engineering, Operations, and Compliance, and ensure zero missed deadlines.
• Scale for New Products: Extend tax infrastructure to support new asset classes (fixed income, crypto staking rewards), new account types (IRAs, advisory), and multi-entity structures. Proactive
