Your work may include:

• Building and maintaining tax calculation, classification and validation rules using Python, SQL and established engineering patterns.
• Building data workflows, schemas, mappings and client configurations for ERP and finance data.

• Improving the Tax platform and rules-engine framework through reusable capabilities, templates and tooling.
• Contributing to Python tools, data services and evaluation harnesses for AI-assisted and agentic Tax workflows.

About the team

Deloitte’s Tax Transformation & Technology team builds and operates the products, platforms and engineering capabilities that are changing how tax work gets done. We believe the future of tax will be powered by data, automation and AI.

Our multidisciplinary team brings together tax specialists, rules and data engineers, software engineers, product thinkers and AI technologists to solve complex problems and turn ideas into dependable production solutions. We are modernising our shared tax platform and rules-engine while supporting a portfolio of business-critical tax modules.

You will join a collaborative engineering environment where quality, traceability and continuous learning matter as much as delivery speed.

Enough about us, let’s talk about you.  

• Around 1-2 years’ experience in data engineering, analytics engineering or data automation
• Strong Python and SQL for ELT and rules-based processing
• Experience with Polars, Pandas, DuckDB, or similar data-processing tools
• Knowledge of relational data, data quality and ETL/ELT patterns
• Experience validating and reconciling data using reference datasets, output comparisons or automated tests
• Ability to build data-quality and anomaly controls and troubleshoot production issues
• Ability to workshop requirements with Tax SMEs and translate them into testable rules
• Strong logical reasoning across calculations, classifications, precedence and exceptions
• Familiarity with Git, code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD and technical documentation
• Clear communication, curiosity and a self-directed approach to learning
• Exposure to the following would be advantageous:
  • Tax, accounting, ERP or other finance data
  • Rules engines, decision tables or configuration-driven processing
  • Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Airflow or other cloud, container and orchestration technologies
  • Statistical anomaly detection or advanced data profiling techniques
  • AI-assisted engineering tools and exposure to LLM APIs, tool calling, evaluation harnesses or agentic Tax workflows
• You do not need to arrive as a Tax or AI specialist. We are looking for strong Python and SQL foundations, careful reasoning and a willingness to learn.
