ABOUT BLUE J
Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals and one of
Canada's fastest-growing AI companies. Headquartered in Toronto, we're a
high-growth B2B SaaS company building industry-leading tax research software
that helps accountants find accurate answers to complex tax questions with
greater speed and confidence.
Backed by a $122M USD Series D funding round, we're scaling rapidly across North
America and the UK while continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible
with AI. By combining advanced technology with deep tax expertise, we empower
tax professionals to work more efficiently, make better decisions, and deliver

A NOTE ON LOCATION
This is a remote-first position, open to candidates legally eligible to work in
the United States. For in-person collaboration, you’ll have the opportunity to
travel to our Toronto office every quarter to connect with the broader team.
To help you get off to a great start, we bring all new team members together for
their first three days of onboarding. If you’re based outside of our local
commuting area, Blue J will arrange and cover your travel and accommodation.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for a Tax Lawyer or Tax Accountant with 4–6 years of experience in
federal tax to join our product team as an Associate, Tax Solutions (US). Our
ideal candidate is well-versed in the fundamentals of U.S. federal taxation and
has developed an area of expertise within federal tax. As an Associate, Tax
Solutions(US) joining our team of tax experts, you will use your tax expertise
to play a central role in continuing to develop Blue J, our large language

you!
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Designing and building tax workflows
Turn real tax engagements (provision support, compliance reviews, research
memos, entity classification, and more) into structured AI workflows.
Write and refine workflow instructions so they produce accurate,
well-sourced, and consistent output.
Test workflows against real fact patterns, find where they break, and fix
them.
Judge AI-generated tax analysis for accuracy, currency of sources, and
whether a practitioner would rely on it.
Implementing with customers
Work with tax teams at accounting firms and corporate tax departments to map
how they do the work today and where workflows fit.
Build and configure workflows for each customer's practice, and guide their
teams through implementation.
Help customers check that workflow output meets their review standards, and
adjust workflows as their needs change.
Partner with our Customer Success team, who lead the relationship, demos, and
training, as the workflow expert on their accounts.
Shaping the product
Be the voice of tax professionals inside Blue J. Turn customer feedback into
clear, prioritized product input.
Work closely with product, engineering, and data science to improve research
quality and workflow features.
Document best practices and build reusable playbooks and workflow templates.
Staying sharp on U.S. federal tax
Research and summarize primary and secondary sources quickly and accurately.
Adapt to new areas of tax law as customer needs change.

have always been done. You know how tax teams think, work, and sometimes
struggle, and you want to help them work better with technology.

short
Clear, confident communication with partners, practitioners, and engineers
alike
The ability to bring structure to messy problems and juggle several customer
projects at once
An understanding of how accounting firms run: staffing, client delivery, and
the pressure to show value

WHAT WE OFFER YOU
An incredibly exciting opportunity to put your tax and accounting expertise

highlight profiles that match the key requirements for each role.
AI does not make hiring decisions.
Every application is reviewed by a member of our Talent team, and all decisions
throughout the process are made by humans.
We use these tools to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human
judgment and we’re committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for

COMPENSATION
The base pay range for this role is $120,000 - $140,000 USD per year.
This is a Level 3 in Blue J’s career level framework. We use levels to define
the expected scope, autonomy, impact, decision-making, and experience for each
role. Final compensation will be set fairly and thoughtfully based on
experience, expertise, and alignment with the role’s responsibilities. While all
candidates are expected to bring directly relevant experience, the top of the
range is typically reserved for individuals who demonstrate exceptional depth in
the role’s core competencies, a strong track record of impact in similar
environments, and the ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy from day
one.
