Founding product engineer owning Sphere's customer experience, including UI, modals, and exports, and building new features on the roadmap. The entire frontend is built in React, and designs are done in Figma. The role involves direct work with customers and the CEO/Founder, and talking with finance leaders such as Controllers and Heads of Tax.
Every breakthrough in trade infrastructure has followed the same pattern: reduce a transaction cost, expand the market. Containerization for goods. SWIFT for money. Stripe for payments. Compliance is one of the last and largest โ and the hardest, because trade rules aren't data to be looked up. They're a complex adaptive system with 190+ sovereign jurisdictions, in different languages, changing constantly, reacting to each other.
Sphere built the system that solves it. Our AI (TRAM) ingests global trade law, interprets it, resolves conflicts across jurisdictions, and produces compliance determinations more reliable than human experts. We handle the entire lifecycle โ calculation, registration, filing, remittance โ at millisecond latency with zero downtime.
CX has an unusually high important in a product like Sphere. Trust is of utmost importance when handling a company's payments and tax obligations. As a result, every user experience, modal, button, export needs to be flawless (would you trust Stripe with your payments if it was full of bugs and inconsistencies?).
Sphere is looking for a passionate founding product engineer to own our CX, take it to the next level and help build out new features / products on our roadmap.
Theyโll be working directly with customers, our design and eng team as well as our CEO / Founder to bring Sphereโs product vision of making the world one market to life.
