About the Role

Own the accounting backbone of a fast-scaling AI-hardware company. As Controller, you'll run our accounting operations, financial close, and reporting — and build the controls, systems, and team that let DensityAI scale cleanly from startup to a company ready for its next stage. You'll be the steward of the books and a key partner to finance leadership and the broader business.

What You'll Do

  • Own day-to-day accounting operations and the monthly/quarterly close — GL, AP/AR, payroll, expense, and treasury support — with accurate, timely financials
  • Produce US GAAP financial statements and management reporting; support board and investor reporting
  • Partner with FP&A to manage the annual financial statement audit, coordinate external auditors, and ensure timely completion of audited financials and related filings
  • Build and maintain internal controls, accounting policies, and scalable processes as headcount and spend grow
  • Own technical accounting — revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation (ASC 718), leases, and R&D/capitalization questions relevant to a chip company
  • Manage external audits, tax filings, and statutory/regulatory compliance with our auditors and tax advisors
  • Partner with FP&A on ERP selection, implementation, and optimization, including finance process design, data migration, testing, and continuous improvement.
  • Lead and scale the accounting function — select and implement ERP/systems (e.g., NetSuite), and hire/mentor the team over time
  • Partner with FP&A and finance leadership on budgeting, spend visibility, and cash management — including the silicon supply-chain/NRE spend the program drives

What We're Looking For

  • BS/MS in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Controller or Assistant Controller, ideally blending public accounting (Big 4) and industry
  • Deep US GAAP and hands-on technical accounting (ASC 606, ASC 718, leases)
  • Track record scaling accounting at a high-growth startup — building close processes, controls, and systems from an early stage
  • Experience owning external audits and tax, and implementing/administering an ERP (NetSuite or equivalent)
  • A hands-on builder who's comfortable doing the work and leading it in a fast-moving environment
  • (Optional) Hardware/semiconductor or deep-tech experience; inventory/COGS/manufacturing accounting; multi-entity or international consolidation; pre-IPO / IPO-readiness exposure

Compensation

Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role. Additional compensation: equity grant per company guidelines; medical / dental / vision; 401(k); standard PTO. 

Visa Sponsorship

DensityAI sponsors qualified candidates for H-1B, O-1, TN, E-3, and other employment-based visas, and we welcome applicants on F-1 OPT and STEM-OPT. Work authorization is required at start; we provide immigration support to secure or transfer status.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age (40+), sexual orientation, military or veteran status, pregnancy, or any other status protected by law.
