About the job

ABOUT SPHERE

At Sphere, we believe that transformative advancements in trade infrastructure drive market expansion and reduced transaction costs. Just as containerization revolutionized goods transport and SWIFT transformed money transfers, we are tackling one of the last frontiers: compliance. With over 190 sovereign jurisdictions constantly evolving and interacting, navigating trade rules is a complex challenge.

Our cutting-edge AI system, TRAM, intelligently processes global trade law, expertly resolves jurisdictional conflicts, and delivers compliance determinations that outperform human experts. We manage the entire compliance lifecycle—calculation, registration, filing, and remittance—with unmatched speed and reliability.

  • Backed by a16z and Y Combinator. With a $21M Series A funding round and over 30% month-over-month growth, our esteemed clientele includes ElevenLabs, Replit, Deel, Runway, and Lovable.

  • A small, agile team with a global impact. Each team member possesses ownership over a domain that would represent an entire team at a larger company. We operate out of our San Francisco HQ, requiring in-office presence five days a week.

  • The challenge is continuously evolving. As we expand into areas such as input tax, withholding, e-invoicing, and tariffs, the complexity multiplies. Today, we handle tens of millions of transactions, with billions on the horizon.

THE ROLE

Customer experience (CX) is pivotal at Sphere. Trust is paramount when it comes to managing payments and tax obligations for our clients. Every aspect of the user experience—from modals and buttons to exports—must be executed flawlessly. Would you trust a payment platform filled with bugs and inconsistencies?

We are seeking a passionate founding product engineer to enhance our CX, elevate it to new heights, and contribute to the development of innovative features and products aligned with our roadmap.

In this role, you will work closely with customers, collaborate with our design and engineering teams, and engage directly with our CEO and Founder to actualize Sphere’s vision of creating a unified global market.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Within your first few weeks:

  • Engage with numerous customers to identify their core pain points and prioritize features that address their needs.

  • Collaborate intensively with design teams to bring those features to fruition.

  • Consistently execute and launch features from start to finish on a daily basis.

  • Participate in customer support as needed to deepen your understanding of our users and their challenges.

About Sphere

Sphere is at the forefront of transforming trade compliance through innovative technology. Our mission is to simplify the complexities of global trade law, making compliance accessible and efficient for businesses worldwide. Backed by top-tier investors and a talented team, we are rapidly growing and expanding our reach.
