About the position

Alvarez & Marsal's Tax practice is seeking a talented junior developer (back end or full stack) to join the tax technology team. This hire will be responsible for designing, developing, implementing, and supporting world-class software. Your software will operate in all facets of A&M Tax; from internal tools that improve efficiencies to client-facing enterprise systems that compete at the world level. As a junior developer, you will have the opportunity to work on innovative projects that directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of tax operations within the firm and for our clients. In this role, you will consult with clients and subject matter experts (SMEs) to understand their problems and contribute to envisioning elegant solutions to some of the most challenging business problems. You will be involved in designing clean architecture with an emphasis on reusable components, ensuring that the software you develop is efficient and maintainable. Testing your work to a high standard is crucial, as you will contribute to all aspects of a project's lifecycle, including documenting requirements, solution development, system configuration, testing, debugging, and support. You will be working with a team that is not a typical tax firm. We are a group of entrepreneurial, action-oriented, and results-oriented tax professionals who take a hands-on approach to solving our clients' problems and helping them reach their potential. We are nimble, resourceful, and proactive, adapting quickly when changes are needed. This environment presents you with opportunities rather than a playbook, and we reward you based on your achievements, not your tenure.
