Remote Research Attorney Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Tax Lead (Crypto) to join our growing tax team. This role is ideal for someone with a strong foundation in crypto tax, accounting, or fund operations who is ready to take ownership of digital asset tax compliance and operational workflows within a high-scale investment fund environment.

The Crypto Tax Lead is part of a specialized team responsible for supporting federal and state income tax compliance, transaction reconciliation, and reporting for funds holding crypto-related investments on the AngelList platform. This includes reviewing and validating transaction-level activity across wallets, exchanges, custodians, and internal systems; identifying and resolving exceptions; and analyzing transactions for tax reporting implications and downstream reporting impacts.

You will work closely with tax, fund accounting, engineering, and cross-functional operations teams. This is not a typical tax role - you will operate at the intersection of tax, digital assets, fund operations, and product, helping scale crypto tax workflows across a rapidly evolving investment platform. Over time, you will take increasing ownership of complex transaction analyses, reporting processes, and operational initiatives. This role is well-suited for someone who is highly organized, proactive, and comfortable navigating complex crypto transaction activity in a fast-paced environment.

• Support review of U.S. federal and state tax compliance for funds holding crypto-related investments
• Reconcile digital asset transactions across wallets, exchanges, custodians, and internal systems to support tax reporting accuracy
• Analyze crypto transactions with tax reporting implications, including staking rewards, token swaps, NFTs, stablecoins, and internal transfers

• Identify and resolve transaction discrepancies, missing activity, and reporting exceptions
• Perform tax-related operational work tied to fund accounting and digital asset reporting workflows
• Support research and documentation for complex crypto tax matters and evolving digital asset reporting requirements
• Work cross-functionally with fund accounting, finance, legal, engineering, and operations teams to gather information and resolve reporting issues
• Conduct evaluation and testing of proprietary systems to support reporting accuracy and scalability
• Identify and implement process improvements to optimize crypto tax workflows
• Help mentor and support Associates and Senior Associates by reviewing work, providing feedback, assisting with workflow management, and supporting onboarding and training on tax processes and systems
• Contribute to documentation and operational processes as the crypto tax function scales

• Five (5) or more years of relevant tax experience and/or public accounting, private industry accounting, or consulting/professional services experience, required 
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Working knowledge of federal and state tax concepts and reporting requirements
• Experience working with crypto transactions, wallets, exchanges, and digital asset reporting workflows
• Familiarity with crypto-related tax reporting concepts, including staking, SAFTs, warrants, token transfers, liquidity activity, and digital asset basis tracking
• Experience researching and analyzing complex tax and transaction issues
• Ability to identify issues, investigate discrepancies, and propose solutions independently
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort learning and working within evolving systems and tools
• CPA certification, Attorney (admitted to practice in a U.S. jurisdiction), or Internal Revenue Service Enrolled Agent ("EA") (or the equivalent of one of these designations), required or working towards
