Company Description
Join the leader in global work. Vialto helps leading organizations identify, develop, and execute their workforce priorities with confidence. Our practice areas include global tax, immigration, rewards, advisory and Vialto private and our team is the gold standard in navigating the complexities of cross-border compliance, and workforce strategies. We look for people our clients and assignees can count on to thoughtfully deliver clear solutions to complex problems.
To be the best in the business, we cultivate a dynamic, highly collaborative culture that fuels the growth of our people. We invite you to inquire boldly, learn deeply, and grow endlessly with us. You’ll work alongside recognized experts, shaping people-first, technology-driven solutions that drive the future of work. We help our clients achieve their goals and imagine new possibilities. And we can do the same for you. Whatever your aspirations, Vialto can help you find your way.
About the role:
Vialto is hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to design, build, and operate secure, scalable products that power our Compensation Collection, Shadow Payroll, and Equity offerings for the world’s most complex multinational employers. You will deliver hands-on engineering across Next.js and React front ends and C# and .NET services running on Microsoft Azure, working in a highly regulated, multi-jurisdictional environment where accuracy, auditability, and data privacy are non-negotiable. This role is for an experienced engineer who can own end-to-end features—from cross-border compensation data ingestion to shadow payroll calculation engines to equity event processing—contribute to architectural decisions, and consistently deliver production-ready solutions using agentic development practices including spec-driven development and agent-driven development with tools such as Claude Code and Codex. You will build AI-native products and workflows, embedding AI capabilities directly into compensation, payroll, and equity workflows to reduce manual effort and improve global mobility outcomes.
Why This Role?
You’ll help build and scale the technology behind Compensation Collection, Shadow Payroll, and Equity—the engines that keep globally mobile employees of the world’s largest multinationals paid accurately, taxed correctly, and compliant across dozens of jurisdictions. You’ll modernize and operate a platform that sits at the intersection of complex tax regulations, sensitive financial and personal data, and high-stakes global payroll and equity events. You’ll also work at the forefront of AI-augmented engineering, using agentic development practices and building AI-powered product experiences that redefine how global mobility compensation, payroll, and equity technology is delivered.
What You’ll Do
Build and evolve modern web experiences for Compensation Collection, Shadow Payroll, and Equity products using Next.js, React, and TypeScript with a focus on performance, reliability, and clarity for tax, payroll, and mobility operators.
