<br><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Job Description</b></h3>
<div><div>Most tax professionals manage filings. We need someone who rewires how a global fintech handles tax across jurisdictions&mdash;while the rules keep changing, the business keeps expanding, and manual processes keep getting replaced by systems that actually scale.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>This is an Individual Contributor role. You&rsquo;ll lead through deep technical expertise and cross-functional influence, not people management.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Why This Matters</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Deriv&rsquo;s mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Millions of traders, across dozens of jurisdictions, around the clock. Real money, real regulations, real consequences.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Global trading means transactions in multiple currencies, regulatory regimes, and time zones&mdash;continuously. Tax compliance can&rsquo;t bottleneck on manual processes. Transfer pricing can&rsquo;t depend on spreadsheets that break when you add a new entity. We&rsquo;re building finance operations where AI handles the repetitive work and humans focus on the judgment calls that actually matter.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Tax at Deriv isn&rsquo;t a back-office function waiting for year-end. It&rsquo;s a strategic capability that needs to keep pace with a business that moves fast, enters new markets regularly, and doesn&rsquo;t wait for approvals.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Why Deriv</b><b><br>
</b><br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>We&rsquo;re in production, not planning. Finance automation is already processing real transactions at Deriv&mdash;invoice orchestration, reconciliation engines, variance detection, fraud models running continuously. You&rsquo;ll join a transformation that&rsquo;s underway, not one waiting for a business case.
<br>
</div><ul><li>Full procurement-to-payment orchestration already live&mdash;requisition through reconciliation
<br>
</li><li>Document intelligence extracting and validating structured data from financial documents
<br>
</li><li>400+ internal users on our workflow orchestration platform
<br>
</li><li>AI-enabled compliance monitoring across legal and regulatory functions
<br>
</li></ul><div>We share what we learn. Deriv&lt;ed&gt; is where we write about AI in production&mdash;what ships, what breaks, and what we figured out the hard way.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>What You&rsquo;ll Do</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div><b>Own multi-jurisdiction tax compliance</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Run direct and indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Coordinate with internal finance teams and external consultants to ensure filings, payments, and reporting land accurately and on time.
<br>
</li>When a new jurisdiction comes online&mdash;and they will&mdash;you&rsquo;re the person who figures out what&rsquo;s required and builds the compliance framework from scratch.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Deliver credible tax accounting</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Own tax accounting processes&mdash;current tax, deferred tax, provisions, and disclosures. Work with finance to ensure tax balances are robust, defensible, and audit-ready.
<br>
</li>When auditors question a position, your documentation and analysis should answer before you do.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Solve real tax problems for a moving business</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Research tax implications of business activities, cross-border transactions, and structural changes. Assess risks and develop solutions that are technically defensible and commercially workable.
<br>
</li>The business won&rsquo;t wait for a perfect answer. You&rsquo;ll make calls with incomplete information and refine as clarity emerges.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Handle transfer pricing and intercompany matters</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>Manage transfer pricing documentation, intercompany arrangements, and coordination with external advisors. Balance technical defensibility with practical business needs across borders.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Monitor, improve, automate</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Track tax law and regulatory developments across key regions. Identify business impact before it becomes a problem.
<br>
</li>Improve trackers, workflows, governance, and documentation standards. Use AI tools and automation to reduce manual work and raise the quality of monitoring. If you haven&rsquo;t built automations before, come ready to learn fast.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Who You Are</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div><b>You&rsquo;ve done this across borders</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Around 12 to 15 years of relevant tax experience. Strong foundation in corporate income tax, with exposure across multiple jurisdictions. You&rsquo;ve seen what breaks when tax compliance meets multi-entity complexity.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You&rsquo;re an all-rounder, not a single-niche specialist</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Working knowledge across direct tax compliance, indirect tax, tax accounting, transfer pricing, advisory, and tax risk management. You don&rsquo;t need to be the world&rsquo;s deepest expert in any one area&mdash;you need to understand how they intersect globally so you can perform critical review.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You manage external advisors, not just follow them</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>You know how to brief external tax consultants, challenge their advice when it doesn&rsquo;t fit the business reality, and extract maximum value from the relationship. You don&rsquo;t outsource your judgment.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You communicate with precision</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Strong written and verbal skills. You translate complex tax positions into language that finance, legal, and business stakeholders can act on. Your research is thorough and your analysis is sharp.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You build, not just run</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Interest in automation, process improvement, and AI-enabled workflows. You see a manual tracker and think about how to replace it. You don&rsquo;t need to write code&mdash;but you need to think in systems.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You own outcomes</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>When data bottlenecks threaten a deadline, you don't wait for permission&mdash;you proactively collaborate cross-functionally to unblock the pipeline.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You&rsquo;ve been shaped by the right environments</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>A combination of professional firm training and in-house multinational experience is ideal&mdash;but strong candidates from either route are welcome. You&rsquo;ve worked in fast-paced, high-growth, or regulated environments where tax couldn&rsquo;t afford to be slow. Fintech exposure is useful, but not required.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><p></p><br>
<br>
<br>
<div><b>The Honest Reality</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>This is demanding work. You&rsquo;ll own outcomes where the path isn&rsquo;t clear. Tax laws change. New jurisdictions arrive faster than documentation catches up. You&rsquo;ll make decisions with incomplete data and live with the consequences. You&rsquo;ll navigate organisational complexity to get things done, and establish standards that others will be measured against.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>The team is lean, which means broad responsibilities and high visibility. Your contributions directly shape our global operations, and you&rsquo;ll see the immediate results of your work. You&rsquo;ll balance technical rigour with commercial pragmatism.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>But you&rsquo;ll define what tax operations look like when AI handles the routine. You&rsquo;ll build workflows that most in-house tax teams haven&rsquo;t imagined. And you&rsquo;ll gain breadth across jurisdictions and tax disciplines that would take far longer to accumulate in a larger, more siloed team.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>If you want a role with clear boundaries and limited scope, this isn&rsquo;t it. If you want functional ownership and real impact, it might be.</div></div></div><p></p>

<ul><li>Job Opening ID ZR_2195_JOB
</li><li>Industry Business Intelligence

</li><li>Postal Code -</li></ul></div>
<br><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Job Description</b></h3>
<div><div>Data pipelines don&rsquo;t fail in staging. They fail at 3 a.m. on month-end, when compliance needs the numbers and the dashboard is showing yesterday&rsquo;s data. You&rsquo;ll build the pipelines that don&rsquo;t break&mdash;and when they do, you&rsquo;ll know before anyone else does.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>This isn&rsquo;t a role where you maintain someone else&rsquo;s SQL. You&rsquo;ll build data infrastructure that powers trading decisions, product analytics, compliance, and AI/ML systems across a global fintech. You&rsquo;ll own data accuracy end-to-end, raise the engineering bar for the team, and catch problems before they reach your stakeholders.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Why This Matters</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Deriv&rsquo;s mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Millions of traders, around the clock, across regulatory regimes. Every trade generates data. Every data point feeds analytics, compliance checks, fraud detection, and AI systems that serve customers in real time.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>When a pipeline delivers stale data, a trader sees the wrong price. When a schema drifts undetected, a compliance report goes wrong. When governance is an afterthought, regulators ask questions nobody can answer. Data engineering at Deriv isn&rsquo;t back-office plumbing. It&rsquo;s the infrastructure that the entire business trusts.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Why Deriv</b><b><br>
</b><br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>We&rsquo;re in production, not planning.
<br>
</div><ul><li>Natural language interfaces querying the data warehouse directly&mdash;leaders ask questions in English, answers come back in seconds
<br>
</li><li>Continuous KPI monitoring with anomaly detection surfacing problems before stakeholders notice
<br>
</li><li>Dozens of fraud detection models running against production data, continuously
<br>
</li><li>400+ users on our internal workflow orchestration platform, fed by the data infrastructure you&rsquo;ll help build and scale
<br>
</li></ul><div>We share openly. Deriv ed is where we write about what we&rsquo;re shipping, what breaks, and what we figured out the hard way. You&rsquo;ll join a transformation that&rsquo;s underway, not one waiting for approval.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>What You&rsquo;ll Do</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Your work cuts across trading and product analytics, compliance and regulatory reporting, AI/ML feature pipelines, and business intelligence. Your placement depends on team needs and your strengths&mdash;your impact won&rsquo;t be limited to one domain.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div><b>Build pipelines that are governed by design</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Design and build ETL/ELT pipelines across batch and real-time workloads using AI-assisted development&mdash;reducing build time without cutting reliability
<br>
</li><li>Bake in observability from the start: freshness checks, completeness monitoring, schema drift detection, lineage tracking, and alerting. Not retrofitted after launch
<br>
</li>Implement automated data quality checks and anomaly detection into every pipeline&mdash;governance built in, not bolted on<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Own data accuracy before anyone has to ask</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Identify and resolve data issues before they surface to analysts or stakeholders
<br>
</li><li>Define and maintain data contracts: SLAs, SLOs, schema agreements, and producer-consumer alignment
<br>
</li>Handle PII, access control, and auditability correctly in a regulated financial environment<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Make the platform better than you found it</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Optimise warehouse performance and cost&mdash;query efficiency, partitioning, clustering, orchestration reliability
<br>
</li><li>Build data models designed to scale beyond the immediate use case: dimensional modelling, semantic layers, reusable abstractions
<br>
</li>Spot gaps in the data platform and address them without waiting to be assigned<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Raise the bar for the team</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Partner with analysts, product, finance, and compliance teams to translate requirements into reliable, governed data products
<br>
</li><li>Peer-review pipeline code and push quality standards higher across the team
<br>
</li>Help onboard new engineers&mdash;share context, catch mistakes early, make others productive faster<br>
<li>
<br>
<br>
</li></ul><p></p><br>
<div><b>Who You Are</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div><b>You build pipelines, not just queries</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>6+ years in data engineering. You know that writing SQL is the easy part. The hard part is making sure data arrives on time, matches the schema you promised, and doesn&rsquo;t silently break when upstream changes. You think about data quality before someone files a bug.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>You know the cloud data stack cold</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>GCP, BigQuery, Airflow, Python&mdash;or the equivalent at comparable scale. You&rsquo;ve built and maintained real pipelines across batch and streaming workloads. You&rsquo;ve shipped with dbt or Dataform and understand why transformation layers matter. You use AI coding assistants daily as part of your workflow, not as a novelty.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>You think in contracts, not assumptions</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>Data modelling techniques like Kimball star schema, Data Vault, or Medallion architecture aren&rsquo;t buzzwords to you&mdash;they&rsquo;re tools you pick based on the problem. You understand that a pipeline without a data contract is a pipeline waiting to fail. Even better if you&rsquo;ve implemented data contract frameworks or schema registries at scale.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>You fix root causes, not symptoms</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>When data is wrong, you don&rsquo;t patch the dashboard. You trace the problem to its source, fix it systematically, and make sure it doesn&rsquo;t recur. You explain what happened clearly&mdash;to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders who need to trust the numbers again.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>You make the people around you better</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>You share learnings actively, create reusable resources, and give feedback that helps others ship better code. When a junior engineer is stuck, you unblock them. When a stakeholder&rsquo;s requirements are vague, you ask the right questions and turn ambiguity into a spec.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>You&rsquo;ve seen what regulated data looks like</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>A fintech, trading, or compliance-heavy background is a strong plus. You know the difference between handling PII in a textbook and handling it when auditors are checking your work. Experience with warehouse cost optimisation and containerised data platforms rounds out the picture.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
<br>
</li></ul><p></p><br>
<div><b>Tech Stack</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Cloud &amp; Warehouse: GCP, BigQuery
<br>
</li><li>Orchestration: Airflow
<br>
</li><li>Languages: Python, SQL
<br>
</li><li>Transformation: dbt / Dataform
<br>
</li><li>Streaming: Kafka, Pub/Sub
<br>
</li>Practices: CI/CD, version-controlled pipelines, peer review, AI-assisted development<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><p></p><br>
<div><b>The Honest Reality</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>This is demanding work. You&rsquo;ll own pipeline reliability in a business where stale data means wrong trading decisions and missed compliance deadlines. You&rsquo;ll debug schema mismatches at month-end when nobody can wait until Monday. You&rsquo;ll push for governance practices when it&rsquo;s easier to just ship the quick fix.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>But you&rsquo;ll build infrastructure the entire company depends on. You&rsquo;ll see your pipelines powering dashboards, feeding AI models, and passing compliance audits. And you&rsquo;ll work with a team that treats data engineering as a craft, not a cost centre.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>If you want predictable work and clean datasets handed to you, this isn&rsquo;t it. If you want to build data systems that actually matter, it might be.</div></div></div><p></p>
