Job description

Deine Mission bei uns

We’re looking for a finance leader with real operational range: a genuine partner to our co-CEOs in running and scaling the company, not finance in isolation. You’ll own the model and the numbers, bring operational lift to how the business runs, and build a compact, high-leverage finance function that sets us up for the next stage.
Responsibilities

• Financial planning & advisory: Own budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning, and be the analytical partner to the co-CEOs on the decisions that shape the company including pricing, hiring, compute spend, and runway. Turn financial data into decisions the leadership team can act on.
• Operational partnership to the leadership team: Bring operational leadership to how the company is run day to day. Help the leadership team turn strategy into execution.
• Fundraising & investor relations: Partner with the co-CEOs to prepare for and run our Series B — build and defend the financial model, own the data room and diligence, and drive investor materials, reporting, and relationships. Be a trusted, straight-talking counterpart to the board.
• International & cross-border (managed through partners): Own consolidation across our US and German entities including intercompany, transfer pricing, R&D cost allocation, multi-currency, and local compliance. We run accounting through external partners rather than in-house, so this means managing accounting, tax, and audit firms across both countries and coordinating how that work is priced and shared between entities.
• Accounting, close & controls: Ensure a clean, timely close and right-sized internal controls.
• A compact, world-class finance function: Build lean finance infrastructure and, over time, a small, high-leverage team that scales with the company.

Zielorientierung

• Senior finance leadership in a high-growth tech startup (CFO, VP Finance or Head of Finance), or a combined finance and operations background
• Experience helping run a company, not only its finances, turning strategy into execution alongside a leadership team
• Direct experience raising institutional venture funding, ideally leading the finance workstream on a Series B or later round
• Strong modeling, forecasting and scenario-planning judgment, with the instinct to guide decisions rather than just report them
• Cross-border experience managing finance and external accounting and tax partners, ideally across the US and Germany or Europe, including intercompany and transfer pricing
• The ability to make complex numbers land with founders, boards and investors
• A strategic, hands-on operator who thrives in a founder-led company with two co-CEOs
• Based in the SF Bay Area or willing to relocate

Nice to have

• Understanding of AI and infrastructure cost structures (compute economics, burn discipline), beyond SaaS FP&A
• Experience building a finance function and vendor stack from an early baseline
• CPA and/or MBA

Warum diese Rolle spannend ist

• Build something big: Help build and scale a fast-growing AI infrastructure startup.
• Pay & perks: Competitive compensation
• Work your way: Flexible hours with hybrid and remote-friendly options.
• Fast lanes, no red tape: Flat hierarchies and rapid decision-making mean ideas move quickly.
• Global team: Work with a diverse, international team across Germany and the US.
• Top setup: Your choice of high-quality hardware and equipment.
