Mission:
Sphere has built the world’s first AI-native tax engine that helps companies like Eleven Labs, Replit, Runway AI, Windsurf (+ many more) automate their sales tax, VAT and GST obligations:
We're growing rapidly (34%+ MoM revenue growth) and helping the fastest growing tech companies around the world including Eleven Labs, Replit, Windsurf, Fathom, Linktree, Photoroom, Sierra AI, Zed etc
We’ve spent the last 1.5 years building local rails into tax authorities in both the US and internationally to properly automate compliance processes (no other vendor has done this)
We're building the world's first AI-native tax engine (which will be the foundation for a broader cross border compliance platform; think Deel for international billing)
We're well funded by Felicis Ventures and YC
We’re looking for a swiss army knife / Chief of Staff to work directly with our CEO at Sphere!
Why this is a massive opportunity
🌍 Massive TAM: Every business around the world needs this. Compliance isn’t optional.
🌬️ Strong macro tailwinds: Businesses are expanding globally at a faster pace, while tax authorities are cracking down on cross-border compliance, driving urgent demand.
✨ AI advantage: Incumbents can’t scale beyond the U.S.; our AI-native tax engine can.
🔮 Product vision: Indirect tax is just the start; we’re building the Deel for international billing.
