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. The role is not just about coding; it involves consulting 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 expected to design clean architecture with an emphasis on reusable components, build efficient and explainable code, and test your work to a high standard. Additionally, you will contribute to all aspects of a project's lifecycle, including documenting requirements, solution development, system configuration, testing, debugging, and support. In this position, you will be working with a unique group of entrepreneurial, action-oriented, and results-oriented tax professionals who take a hands-on approach to solving clients' problems and helping them reach their potential. The team is nimble, resourceful, and proactive, adapting quickly when changes are needed. A&M presents you with opportunities rather than a playbook and rewards you based on your achievements rather than your tenure. The salary range for this position is $85,000 - $105,000 annually, dependent on several variables including education, experience, skills, and geography. Additionally, A&M offers a discretionary bonus program based on individual and firm performance.
