Engineering Manager, Activation

Anrok
San Francisco, CA

Anrok is the leading AI-driven tax automation platform enabling Internet businesses to expand globally without compliance complexity.


As the digital economy has grown 6x over the last decade, software businesses have gone from not worrying about sales tax to needing to monitor exposure, calculate rates, and file returns across 20+ US states and many countries worldwide. This creates a critical bottleneck for companies that should be able to transact with customers everywhere.


Anrok eliminates this complexity by connecting with billing and payment systems to automate tax monitoring, calculations, and filing end-to-end. Our unified platform handles the ever-changing maze of tax laws at municipal, state, and federal levels—so companies can focus on growth, not compliance.

We're making compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small, backed by over $100M from leading investors including Sequoia, Index, and Khosla Ventures.

Our customers include:

  • 40% of Forbes Top 50 AI companies

  • 20% of Forbes Top 100 Cloud companies

  • Top companies like Notion, Anthropic, and Cursor

The Role:

As the Activation Engineering Manager, you’ll own our activation and self service onboarding flows for all of Anrok. We are scaling our customer base significantly and an excellent onboarding experience is critical to achieving that.

You have the opportunity to drive execution and strategy for an exceptional team, help shape the product roadmap, and coach and develop senior engineers. We work primarily in TypeScript and React, but prior experience is not required.

In this role, you will:

  • Hire, manage, and grow a talented team building innovative products to drive activation and a self-serve onboarding process.

  • Set the product and technical strategy, while driving processes for high quality execution.

  • Write and review code alongside the engineers on the team as needed

  • Foster a collaborative and healthy culture of feedback, opportunity, and growth for the team.

  • Contribute to the Anrok engineering culture and initiatives.

  • Find appropriate uses of AI in both the creation of automations or as the automation itself

What excites us:

  • 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams, with significant experience as a software engineer.

  • Track record of figuring out how to set individuals and teams up for success.

  • You enjoy coding and have strong technical acumen to guide the team through product and technical decisions.

What we offer:

  • The equity upside of an early-stage startup with the product-market fit of a later-stage company.

  • Daily lunch and snacks for those working out of our office hubs.

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance covered 100%.

  • One Medical membership covered, flexible sick benefits, and more.

  • Annual learning and development stipend for books, online courses, and conferences, as well as a curious team to share your learnings with.

  • Annual team off-sites and in-person opportunities around our growing Anrok hubs.

  • Home office setup stipend to ensure you have the equipment you need to thrive at work.

At Anrok, we embrace a dynamic and flexible hybrid work environment based out of our growing office hubs - San Francisco, New York City, and Salt Lake City where we collaborate in-person 3 days per week.

Please be aware, job-seekers may be at risk of targeting by malicious actors looking for personal data. Anrok recruiters will only reach out via LinkedIn or email with an anrok.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Anrok via other sources should be ignored.
