We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
This is an opportunity to do more than maintain the books. You will help build the accounting foundation that enables a high-growth technology company to scale globally, operate with financial discipline, and make informed business decisions.
You are a highly motivated, detail-oriented accounting professional who combines strong technical accounting expertise with a passion for operational excellence and continuous improvement. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where processes are evolving, priorities are dynamic, and the ability to scale is essential. You bring a strong foundation in US GAAP, financial reporting, and internal controls, coupled with a practical, hands-on approach to solving problems.
This role is hybrid or remote, based out of Santa Clara, CA; Austin, TX or Boston, MA.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

- You have experience with complex accounting areas such as revenue recognition (ASC 606), inventory and cost accounting, fixed assets, leases (ASC 842), and intercompany transactions, ideally across multiple entities, currencies, and reporting requirements.
- You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities evolve and processes need to scale. Experience in technology, semiconductors, hardware manufacturing, or a similarly complex business is preferred.

Participate in ERP enhancements, implementations, and system integrations. Mentor junior team members and keep finance leadership informed of risks, operational issues, and process improvement opportunities.
