Job description

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we’re moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team is composed of industry veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we’re deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery across the country, accelerating project schedules of billion‑dollar infrastructure projects and improving safety on job sites. Backed by $350M in funding, we’re working quickly to close the gap between America’s surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry’s growing labor shortage.

This is where algorithms meet steel‑toed boots. You’ll collaborate with construction veterans and world‑class engineers to solve physical‑world problems that simulations can’t touch. If you're ready to apply cutting‑edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.

The Role:

We're growing fast and expanding product and revenue lines. We’re looking for a hands‑on yet strategic Global Controller to lead our accounting function, support financial infrastructure at scale, and serve as a key partner to our Executive Leadership Team as we move toward investor‑grade financial operations.

What You’ll Do:

Own and Scale Core Accounting

• Lead all accounting operations: GL, revenue recognition, AP/AR, payroll, consolidations, and equity accounting.

• Drive timely and accurate monthly closes and prepare internal and external financial statements under US GAAP.

• Oversee complex fintech accounting streams, including interchange, deposit interest, SaaS fees, and lending.

• Design and maintain internal controls for external audits and eventual SOX compliance.

Build Scalable Infrastructure

• Own and improve our accounting systems; manage third‑party integrations

• Partner with Product and Engineering to automate financial workflows — including revenue data pipelines, ledger mapping, and reconciliations.

• Ensure audit‑traceable processes for high‑volume, tech‑driven financial data.

• Optimize Bedrock’s procure to pay systems; including the implementation of new purchasing software

Finance Business Partnering

• Work closely with FP&A to align financial reporting with operating metrics and forecasts.

• Support board and investor reporting — including gross margin tracking, cost structure analysis, and scenario planning.

• Lead technical accounting memos for complex arrangements, such as embedded finance, multi‑entity structures, or vendor contracts.

Compliance and Audit

• Lead external audits and coordinate with tax, legal, and compliance teams on filings and regulatory requirements.

• Prepare for future SOX and public company standards (as applicable).

• Stay current on evolving fintech regulation and accounting treatments (e.g., ASC 606, Fair value etc.).

What You’ll Bring:

• +15 years of accounting/finance experience, including:

  • Public accounting background (Big 4 strongly preferred)
  • Leadership in a high‑growth company, ideally Series B‑D stage
  • Strong familiarity with product‑linked revenue (interchange, lending, deposits, fees)
• CPA required; deep knowledge of US GAAP
• Proven success building accounting teams, processes, and systems in a scale‑up environment
• Ability to collaborate cross‑functionally and influence senior stakeholders
• Systems‑oriented: experience with ERP, Business Intelligence (BI), Procure to Pay (P2P), Stripe, Mercury, or similar tools
• Comfort navigating uncertainty in fast‑moving product‑led environments
• Experience in robotics, vehicle, hardware or industrial automation is a plus
• Experience in accounting within the construction space is also a plus
