Job description

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

• The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
• The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
• The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
• The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

If you want to do meaningful accounting work at a company that’s actually building something, this is it.

• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, and documentation standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, procurement, and FP&A to ensure accurate financial data.

Requirements

• 2+ years of accounting experience in a corporate or public accounting environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

• Proficiency with an ERP system (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar).
• High attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• CPA license or active CPA candidate.
• Experience in a high-growth startup or manufacturing/industrial environment.
