Job description

This is a hands-on leadership role that owns how revenue is recorded and how money moves from order to cash for a fast-growing, credit-based product. A strong candidate brings deep revenue accounting experience, sound judgment on tricky deals, and comfort digging into transaction-level data. Experience building processes and controls from scratch, and working well with engineering and data teams, matters as much as technical accounting skill.

How it fits the AI era

The business sells AI generation through credits and usage, so the accounting depends on clean data about what users consume, and automation can take over much of the manual reconciliation and close work. Judgment stays human: deciding how to treat unusual contracts, unused credits, and principal versus agent questions, and defending those calls to auditors. The job is partly about making finance systems reliable enough that AI-driven growth can be trusted in the numbers.

How it builds AI experience

Working here would give close exposure to how a generative AI product turns usage into revenue, including credit models, consumption tracking, and billing at high volume. Someone could build experience by partnering with engineering on usage data, pushing for more automation in the close, and learning how to account for AI products that mix self-serve, enterprise, and partner sales. Practicing with revenue automation tools and SQL on consumption data is a good way to prepare.

Worth showing

• ASC 606 for usage-based revenue
• Credit breakage and variable consideration
• Stripe reconciliation to cash
• SQL and transaction-level analysis
