Tax Technology Services Consultant

Tax Technology Services Consultant

Deloitte Tax is building a forward-deployed, rapid-prototyping capability that puts technologists directly inside client service to help design and build solutions for tax in real time. As a forward-deployed Tax Technology Services Consultant, you will work hands-on — writing code, building prototypes, and standing up tools — alongside tax specialists to solve tax and business problems where a standard playbook doesn't yet exist. If you love to build, thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, learn quickly, and want to see your work make a real impact for clients, with support from experienced engineers and tax professionals along the way, this role could be a great fit for you. 

Recruiting for this role ends on 11/30/26.

Work you'll do

As a Tax Technology Services Consultant on the Tax forward-deployed engineering team, you will embed directly with client service teams and tax specialists to rapidly prototype and build technology solutions that address emerging tax and business challenges.

• Collaborate on-site and virtually with clients to understand problems firsthand and translate them into working software quickly
• Design, build, iterate on and harden prototypes, applications, and automations using modern programming languages, APIs and cloud tools so they can scale reliably
• Leverage GenAI/LLM tools and other emerging technologies to accelerate solution development
• Operate with a startup mindset — assisting with moving from concept to working solution in days or weeks rather than months
• Collaborate with tax technical specialists to ensure solutions are grounded in real client requirements

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
• Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor
• Ability to meet deadlines
• Eagerness to learn and take on new challenges in ambiguous, fast-changing environments with limited structure

The team

Deloitte Tax's forward-deployed engineering team is built to move faster than a traditional consulting engagement. We pair technologists with tax subject-matter specialists to prototype and deploy solutions directly with clients — closer to a startup "skunkworks" model than a standard delivery team. You will learn across both technology and tax and see the direct impact of what you help build.
