## About the role

As Controller, you’ll build the accounting function from the ground up. You own the close, technical accounting, financial reporting, and the internal controls that make all of it trustworthy. You’ll navigate complex deal structures across sovereign and enterprise contracts, manage the external audit relationship, and oversee equity accounting as our programs scale. You’ll own tax compliance and strategy, partner with legal and finance on entity structure, and build the accounting and tax teams beneath you.

- 7-10+ years of relevant finance and accounting experience
- CPA required, Big 4 background strongly preferred
- Deep technical accounting expertise — ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 842, ASC 360 and the judgment to handle what's not in the textbook
- Experience owning a close process and an audit at a high-growth technology company
- Demonstrated ability to build an accounting function from scratch, including team, systems, and processes
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity in deal structures and translating complexity into clear accounting positions
