Be a part of something big
Avalara is the technology company that everyone’s used but nobody’s heard of. We’re at your gas pump, in your browser, and at checkout.
Imagine nearly every transaction you make — every cup of coffee or pair of sneakers, every movie ticket, meal kit, or streamed song, every sensor-to-sensor ping. Every time you make a purchase, whether physical or digital, there’s a unique and nuanced tax calculation.
We’re building cloud compliance to handle all those transactions, all over the world — and we’re reinventing how tax is done.
We work with businesses of every size, from gigantic global retailers to corner stores. That involves billions of transactions, tens of thousands of legal jurisdictions, and trillions of dollars, moving at speeds measured in milliseconds.
We do it better than anyone. That’s why we’re growing fast.

Somebody’s got to figure all this out.
That somebody is us. Hopefully, with you.
We’re fundamentally reinventing a core business process, changing how products are sold around the world. Who else gets to do that?

Diversity and inclusion
We don’t just encourage diversity — we thrive because of it.
Avalara actively seeks talent from all backgrounds, and we have many employee resource groups dedicated to fulfilling that goal, including PRiSM (LGBTQ+), UJIMA (African American/Black), Veterans of Avalara, and Women of Avalara.
Benefits
You’ll have access to many benefits, depending on your role and location:
Avalara employees receive bonuses, retirement plans, financial planning assistance, and employee stock purchase plans (ESPP), in addition to salary and paid time off.
As our company grows, our employees should, too. That’s why we created mentorship opportunities and career growth programs.
You’ll enjoy a fully stocked fridge and free espresso at all our locations. You might also get a view of the game! In Seattle, we look right into CenturyLink Field — home of the Seahawks and Sounders — and the Durham office overlooks Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
We offer all the most important health benefits to keep Avalarians happy and healthy, at work and at home.
We support flexible schedules, and we make getting to the office a little easier and less costly with subsidized transportation options.
