We work with leading AI model builders, application layers and clinical researchers to understand and protect people, reducing the world’s biggest human risks. Position Overview We're looking for a Controller who thrives in early-stage, high-growth startup environments and wants to have a meaningful impact on building a financially resilient, investor-ready company. As part of our founding in-house Operations team, your mission is to own the full Accounting function and build the financial infrastructure that scales with us through our next funding round and beyond. You'll report to the VP Finance, partner closely with the CEO, and manage external auditors/tax advisors to build reliable reporting, tighten controls, and keep the company audit-ready at all times. This is a full-time role, remote-friendly with a preference for Seattle and overlap with the Pacific Time Zone, with a clear path to grow with the company as it scales. What You’ll Accomplish In your first 2 months you’ll… - Establishing a monthly close cycle under 5 business days by owning the general ledger, close process, and chart of accounts. - Build or formalize core financial controls, expense policies, and AP/AR workflows from the ground up. - Be a strategic finance partner by contributing to board reporting, scenario modeling, and preparing our Series B data room. In your first year you’ll… - Lead the company's first formal audit or financial review process with minimal outside support. - Implement scalable systems and integrations across payroll, equity, banking, and the GL. You’ll Thrive in This Role If You… - Have 6–10+ years of accounting experience, with at least 3 in a startup or high-growth environment (Series A–C preferred). - Have held a Controller or Senior Accounting Manager title and owned the full close cycle independently. - Are comfortable being the only accounting hire — building process where none exists, without waiting for a playbook. - Have hands-on experience with equity accounting, deferred revenue (SaaS or contract-based), and multi-entity or multi-currency environments. - Know your way around a 409A, cap table, and investor reporting expectations. - Are a CPA (strongly preferred) with experience coordinating with external auditors and tax advisors. - Communicate financial complexity clearly to non-finance stakeholders, including founders and board members. - Take ownership, stay cool in ambiguity, and care as much about accuracy as you do about speed. About the Team You’ll work with the: - VP Finance & Operations (Direct Manager) - They'll work closely with you on the full accounting function, help you build business partnership skills beyond the GL, and create opportunities to present financials to leadership and the board. They bring deep operational experience scaling startups and will invest in your growth. - CEO & Co-Founders - You'll support board reporting, investor diligence prep, and financial operations that underpin strategic decision-making. This role offers direct exposure to fundraising mechanics, cap table management, and the financial rigor that investors expect at the Series B level and beyond. - Cross-Functional Leaders (Product, Clinical, GTM, Ops) - You'll partner with department heads to close the books accurately, build department-level budget visibility, support headcount and vendor spend decisions, and ensure financial data flows cleanly into the reporting that drives company priorities. We're a mission-driven, collaborative team that values precision, moves with urgency, and believes that clean financials and strong controls aren't just a compliance exercise — they're a competitive advantage. We're looking for someone who takes ownership of the numbers and earns trust as a true business partner. Our Hiring Process - Step 1: 20-minute recruiter or hiring manager screen - Step 2: 45-minute hiring manager interview - Step 3: Working session to review spreadsheet acumen, modeling frameworks, and strategic thinking - Step 4: 2x30-minute interviews with key stakeholders - Step 5: Offer 🎉 Compensation & Benefits - Base Salary: $115–150k - Seattle / Hybrid / Remote - Benefits: - 100% company-funded health, dental, and vision insurance - 401k - Well-being programs - Flexible paid time off - Mission-driven work solving AI Safety challenges Apply Even If You Don’t Check Every Box We know great candidates might not fit every bullet on a job description.
