Unconventional AI is rethinking the foundations of compute to bring biology-scale energy efficiency to AI. Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia and a16z.
About the role
This is a hands-on generalist role for someone who wants ownership over the entire accounting and FP&A stack rather than a slice of it. You'll close the books, run the audit, manage the tax calendar, and build the budget and forecasting process, often in the same week.
What they're looking for
- 5–8 years of experience across accounting and FP&A, public accounting plus industry is a common path, as is a startup finance role where you did a bit of everything
- Startup or tech company experience is required. You've worked somewhere the process didn't exist yet and you built it
- Strong command of US GAAP and a real understanding of close mechanics, reconciliations, and internal controls
- Hands-on with an ERP (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar) and comfortable owning the systems stack: spend management, payroll, equity administration, and close tools
- Advanced Excel/Sheets and strong financial modeling ability
- A self-starter who operates with minimal direction, sets their own deadlines, and closes loops without being chased
More about this role
Since 2022, AI has entered the mainstream, reshaping entire industries from education and software development to fundamental consumer behaviors. This revolution has created an unprecedented demand for computation - a demand that is now fundamentally limited by energy, not just in the datacenter, but at a global scale.
At Unconventional, our mission is to solve this. We are rethinking computing from the ground up to build a new foundation for AI that is 1000x more efficient. We're doing this by exploiting the rich physics of semiconductors, mapping neural networks directly to the device physics rather than relying on layers of inefficient abstraction.

We are deliberately not drawing tight lines around the job. Some weeks are close and controls; others are a diligence request, a tax filing, a payroll system migration, or a question from the board that needs an answer by Friday. The right person sees the ambiguity as...
