Shape a product that developers love—all with transparent pricing and cost-control built in. As Staff Accountant, you'll be the day-to-day engine of our accounting operations. You'll own accounts payable end to end, drive a meaningful share of the month-end close, and help build the reconciliations, schedules, and documentation that keep a fast-growing SaaS business audit-ready. This is a hands-on role at an early-stage finance function, so you'll get broad exposure: multi-entity consolidation, usage-based revenue, and sales tax compliance, with room to take on more as the company scales.
