## About the role

This is our first dedicated finance hire. You will own finance and accounting end to end, working with the right third parties where that makes sense, and shape the function into one that is ready for the scale ahead of us. How that gets built is largely yours to define, and as the company grows, so does this function and the team behind it.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in finance and accounting, including ownership of both a close and a forecast
- Experience doing this in a capital-intensive business, whether semiconductor or another industry where large commitments are made long before revenue and cash planning has to run years out
- Time in a fast-moving startup, ideally as an early or first finance hire, and comfort operating without a finance team behind you
- A track record of maturing a finance function: taking something scrappy and making it rigorous without slowing the company down
- Clear communication with people who do not think in accounting terms, including engineers, executives, and the board
- Comfort being hands on. For a while you will be doing the work, not directing it
