Job description

We're at an inflection point. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We're building the foundation behind the foundation models - the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain - to help our partners drive the field forward.

Growing this fast means our books, controls, and reporting have to keep pace. We're looking for a Senior Accounting Manager / Director of Accounting to own day-to-day accounting operations and make sure our financial reporting is accurate, timely, and audit-ready - bringing public company rigor and Big 4 discipline to a fast-moving, global technology environment.

What You'll Do

This role is the bridge between daily transactions and reliable financial reporting we can close, audit, and raise on. Sample projects include:

• managing daily accounting operations, including the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, payroll accounting, and cash reconciliations
• leading the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close processes, ensuring deadlines and reporting standards are met
• preparing and reviewing journal entries, account reconciliations, financial statements, and management reports
• ensuring compliance with GAAP, applicable tax requirements, company policies, and internal controls
• reviewing financial results, investigating variances, and communicating meaningful insights to leadership
• coordinating external audits and providing accurate, timely schedules and supporting documentation
• supporting budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow management, and other financial-planning activities
• assisting with tax filings, regulatory reporting, and special projects as required
• implementing and maintaining robust accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls
• collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure financial accuracy and support business growth
• leveraging technology solutions to enhance accounting efficiency and accuracy

About You

• CPA and/or bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years in a supervisory role
• strong knowledge of GAAP and financial reporting requirements
• demonstrated experience managing month-end and year-end close processes
• proficiency with accounting or ERP systems and advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities
• excellent written and verbal communication skills
• high level of accuracy, integrity, discretion, and attention to detail

You might be a good fit if you:

• have Big 4 public accounting experience
• have supported external audits, system implementations, or process-automation initiatives
• have experience with multi-entity, multi-currency, or international accounting
• are able to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• are very comfortable working in 0-1 environments
• are mission-driven and passionate about robotics: work at XDOF is fast-paced and constant. We hope you love what you're going to be doing, because you'll be doing a lot of it!
