About the job

The company is the AI Developer Cloud. More than one million developers, from indie researchers to teams running frontier models in production, use the company to experiment, train, fine-tune, deploy, and scale AI on one platform. The platform has processed more than 20 billion inference requests. We closed a $100M Series A in June 2026. We're at an inflection point for AI infrastructure, and we're building the platform the next generation of developers will depend on. Learn more in our CEO's funding announcement: [link for members]

We're a small, remote-first team. We take ownership seriously, move fast, and ship work that more than a million developers rely on every day. We're looking for people who care deeply, build with urgency, and want to matter at scale.

The Finance team helps the company scale with strong financial operations, reliable reporting, and the systems and controls needed to support a rapidly growing business. We work closely with leaders across the company to provide accurate financial information and build processes that can grow with the company.

We’re looking for a VP, Controller to lead the company’s accounting organization and build it for the company we’re becoming. Reporting to our CFO, you’ll own the integrity of our financial reporting, close, technical accounting, compliance, and controls, and you’ll set the strategy, team, and systems that let accounting scale ahead of the business.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who has built and led accounting functions at high-growth technology companies and still likes being close to the work. You’ll be a strategic partner to the CFO and the leadership team, represent accounting with our auditors, board, and investors, and make the calls on policy, structure, and tooling that will shape how the company operates for years to come.

You’ll turn the company’s accounting function into a scaled, audit-ready organization: a fast and accurate close, controls that hold up to outside scrutiny, technical accounting positions you can defend, and a team and systems ready for whatever comes next, from larger financings to public-company readiness.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the company’s accounting organization, setting its strategy, structure, and priorities as the company scales.
  • Build, hire, and develop a high-performing accounting team
  • Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close and deliver timely, accurate financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
  • Serve as the company’s authority on revenue recognition and technical accounting, and set and maintain the company’s accounting policies.
  • Own the external audit relationship end to end and lead the company through increasingly rigorous audits.
  • Design and own an internal control environment built to the standard of a much larger company, with a clear path to SOX readiness.
  • Present financial results and key accounting matters to the CFO, executive team, board, and investors.
  • Partner with leaders across Finance, Legal, People, Revenue, and other teams on contracts, deal structures, equity, and decisions with accounting impact.
  • Set the roadmap for accounting systems and drive automation and AI across accounting workflows.
  • Oversee tax, compliance, and equity accounting, and manage the company’s outside accounting and tax advisors.
  • Lead the accounting work behind financings and other strategic transactions, including diligence and complex accounting events.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 5+ years leading accounting teams.
  • CPA license.
  • Experience building and scaling an accounting function at a high-growth technology, SaaS, cloud infrastructure, or similarly fast-moving company.
  • Experience leading accounting through a major financing, a first Big 4 audit, or IPO readiness at a venture-backed company.
  • Deep expertise in US GAAP, technical accounting, and financial reporting.
  • A track record of designing and owning internal controls in a modern, integrated finance stack, including SOX or SOX-readiness work.
  • Experience leading external audits as the primary owner of the auditor relationship.
  • Comfort presenting to executives, boards, and investors, and turning complex accounting topics into clear decisions.
  • Strong judgment and a builder mindset: you set the direction and still go deep when the work calls for it.
  • A track record of using automation and AI to transform accounting workflows.
  • Successful completion of a background check.

PREFERRED

  • Experience with SaaS and/or usage-based revenue recognition, including ASC 606 involving commitments, credits, or capacity contracts.
  • Experience taking a company public
  • Public accounting experience at one of the big 4

  • $1,200 home office and equipment stipend, so you're set up with the right gear from day one.
  • A passionate team on the cutting edge of AI infrastructure, where culture, learning, and ownership are at the heart of how we scale.
