Valar Atomics is scaling nuclear energy for heavy industrial power and clean hydrocarbon fuel production. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
Valar is building the capital accounting backbone for a program that runs from one plant to many. Our first pilot plant is two things at once — a demonstration of a first-of-a-kind reactor and a productive asset that will sit on our balance sheet for decades — and dividing every dollar of engineering, equipment, and field labor between those two identities is the judgment this role owns.

What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of accounting experience with direct ownership of construction in progress and fixed asset accounting on capital projects in construction, energy, utilities, infrastructure, or heavy manufacturing
- You have built and defended a cost allocation methodology that split one project's spend between capital and research and development — on an asset that served both purposes at the same time — and it survived audit
- You have set or rewritten a capitalization policy yourself — thresholds, cost eligibility, asset classes — and defended it to an external auditor, not inherited one someone else wrote
- Hands-on experience operating a fixed asset and project module in a major ERP (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or equivalent), including project setup and asset conversion
- Experience building cost-coding and project hierarchy structures, and reconciling project cost data to the general ledger
More about this role
At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future. Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.

You will set the capitalization policy, build the allocation basis behind the split, stand up the CIP and fixed asset ledger that proves it, and carry all of it through our first external audit....
