The Opportunity This is a unique opportunity to research, draft, and refine practitioner-facing articles for Blue J's growing content library, covering the full breadth of US tax law, with an eye toward providing additional context and insights on high demand topics. Working with AI tools built specifically for this purpose, you'll typically produce multiple federal tax-related articles or other content pieces per week, to be included in the Blue J content database.

What You'll Be Doing Tax Research and Writing: Research, draft, and edit multiple practitioner-facing US tax articles per week, covering areas such as corporate tax, individual tax, deductions, credits, S corporations, partnerships, trusts, exempt organizations and more. You will adapt quickly to researching, understanding and summarizing questions across multiple areas of tax law; evaluate sources for accuracy and currency; efficiently analyze source documents to support your analysis; and assess the quality and accuracy of AI-generated tax analysis. You'll work with AI tools throughout, and will take ownership of accuracy and quality before articles go to your manager for final review. Validation: Perform technical review on articles produced by other contributors, checking for accuracy, currency, and alignment with Blue J's content standards. A key part of the role is helping us maintain a high bar as the Blue J content library scales. Process Awareness: You will apply your understanding of tax firm workflows to help align our product with real-world use cases. This insight will be critical in refining our solution for broader adoption.

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 an early member of this content function, you'll have real influence over how it develops. We want someone who thinks critically about quality, coverage, and how we can continuously improve what we're building. Evolving based on customer needs: Our goal is to work in true partnership with our customer (tax professionals) by attending to their feedback, troubleshooting, and incorporating their recommendations to consistently and reliably add value.
