About Blue J

Blue J is the leading solution in generative AI for tax experts. Our cutting edge, AI-driven tax research software is the best in the market, driving deeper, more efficient research answers for accountants and lawyers across North America and in the UK. 

We are racing ahead with an exciting product development roadmap to continue to delight our customers and to ensure that our users can generate the very best possible tax research answers in the service of their clients in record time. We're looking for a Senior US Tax Research Associate to support this growth.


The Opportunity 

We’re looking for a Tax Lawyer or Tax Accountant with 2-7 years of experience in U.S. tax to join our team as a Tax Research Associate. Our ideal candidate is well-versed in federal income tax. As a Tax Research Associate, you will use your tax expertise to play a central role in continuing to develop Ask Blue J, our large language model-enabled tax research tool. As a key member of our growing team of tax researchers, you’ll have the unique opportunity to participate in building the next generation of world-class tax research tools.  

In this role, you will gain invaluable experience and learn from some of the best in the field of AI and tax. While we’re an AI company, experience in AI is not required. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about how technology can make tax law more transparent and accessible, and you’ll be instrumental in helping our team as we move this mission forward and take Ask Blue J to new heights. 

If this sounds like something that you’re excited about, we would love to meet you! This role can be done from anywhere in Canada or the US by all applicants who are eligible to work in Canada or the US. We’re a team of passionate, driven, and friendly people all working towards the same goal, and are excited to welcome a Senior US Tax Research Associate to our team!

What You'll be Doing
  • Tax Research. You will use your excellent tax research skills and knowledge to quickly locate relevant primary and secondary sources using standard tax research skills; understand and summarize tax law questions in multiple areas and jurisdictions; evaluate sources for accuracy and currency; efficiently analyze source documents to support your analysis; adapt quickly to researching new jurisdictions and different areas of tax law; and assess the quality and accuracy of AI-generated tax analysis.
  • Teamwork. You will use your tax knowledge to work with tax lawyers, and alongside a team of analysts and data scientists to develop and improve our AI tools. You will build strong relationships with the entire tax research team and the data science team, working collaboratively and learning from each other. You will thrive in our environment where diverse thoughts are welcome and innovation is encouraged. Experience in machine learning and data science is not necessary – just an open mind and an eagerness to collaborate.
  • Strategic thinking. As a core member of our product team, you will have a sense of pride and ownership, constantly thinking strategically and critically about how we can continuously improve the Blue J products.
  • Evolving based on client needs. Our goal is to work in true partnership with our clients (tax professionals) by attending to their feedback, troubleshooting, and incorporating their recommendations to consistently and reliably add value. A key skill in this role is adaptability and openness to new ideas.

    • What You Offer Blue J
  • We’re looking for a lawyer/attorney or accountant who is passionate about tax, and is excited about innovation and AI. Experience in tech is not required - we’re looking for an eagerness to put your transferable skills to use! Here are a few things we need from you: 
  • A JD/LLB or a CPA designation 
  • 2-7 years of professional experience working in either U.S. federal income tax
  • LLM in Taxation or MTax (Master of Taxation) a strong asset 
  • Passion about how much more technology can do to improve the tax profession, and excitement about being a part of it
  • An open mind and eagerness to learn

    • What We Offer You
  • An incredibly exciting and rare opportunity to put your accounting or law degree to a unique use. We’re building a revolutionary tool from the ground up, and you will have a meaningful role in shaping what that looks like. 
  • We are flexible! There is the opportunity to work remote-first, but we have an office in downtown Toronto if you prefer to collaborate with other team members in person. You'll occasionally be asked (a few times a year) to attend in person meetings in Toronto, but beyond that, where you work is up to you!
  • We’re well-funded and offer competitive base salaries and stock options. You’ll play a crucial role in our growth, and it’s important to us that you share in our long-term success. 
  • We care about you as a whole person. You’ll have a healthy work/life balance and colleagues who respect it.
  • We’ve got an amazing team. We’re mission-driven and motivated by success, but we’re friendly, we’re collaborative, and we care about each other. We’ve got all the start-up perks you’d expect, and are intentionally building a culture where you can pickleball if you want, feel safe to be yourself at work, and watch your career grow because your team has invested in you.

    • The Core Values that Define Our Culture
  • We are customer-focused
  • We put the team interest before self-interest
  • We are pleasant and playful
  • We are open to better ideas
  • We deliver on our promises
  • We solve the toughest problems

    • We believe our strength is built on diversity of thought, and encourage candidates from all backgrounds and experiences to apply. We value inclusiveness and are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

  • A 45 min call with two core members of our Legal Research team, Kim and Rory
  • A 45 min call with our VP of Tax Research, Susan
