About Warp
Warp is the AI-native Employee Management Platform for ambitious companies. HRIS, payroll, benefits, IT, tax compliance, and more, all built from scratch on one AI-native platform.
Every company runs on its people, and the software that manages them is some of the oldest in the enterprise. Incumbents like ADP and Workday built their businesses on complexity and large ops teams. Warp is built for AI to be the primary operator. Every advance in LLM capability widens our lead.
We process $X billion in annual payments for high-growth companies across all 50 US states + globally.
We've raised $85M from Battery Ventures, Sapphire Ventures, Peak XV, Sound Ventures (Ashton Kutcher), and Y Combinator, alongside operators including Tobi Lütke (Shopify), Claire Hughes Johnson (Stripe), and the founders of Dropbox and Replit. Our team comes from MIT, Ramp, Brex, Google, Gusto, Rippling, and more.
We hire people who ship constantly, own outcomes, and care about craft. If you want to automate an entire category of work that every company depends on, this is the place.
About The Role
We're looking for a detail-oriented Tax Operations Specialist to join our payroll tax compliance team. You'll directly report to our Tax Operations Lead, becoming the first line of defense when customers receive payroll tax notices. This role combines technical tax expertise with exceptional customer service - you'll investigate issues, communicate with tax agencies, and guide founders through resolutions with clarity and confidence.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with 2-4 years of payroll tax experience who wants to deepen their multi-state compliance expertise while helping build scalable processes at a fast-growing startup.
What You’ll Do
-
Notice Resolution & Customer Support: Decode federal, state, and local payroll tax notices, translate tax jargon into plain English, and guide founders through resolution via email, Zoom, and Pylon
-
Agency Communication: Draft letters, file responses, and represent Warp in conversations with IRS, state, and local tax agencies to resolve account discrepancies, penalties, and registration issues
-
Tax Operations: Process state tax registrations, assist with jurisdiction setup across all 50 states, and support quarterly filings (Form 941 and state equivalents)
-
Documentation & Tracking: Maintain detailed case notes in Linear and Notion, track tax issues using project management platforms, and perform tax reconciliations
