Additional Information

Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source. We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open-source project is FingerprintJS (27K stars on GitHub). We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman , Apollo.io, MinIO , Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle ). We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored. We're looking for a hands-on, ownership-driven Controller to lead the accounting function at a high-growth SaaS company scaling toward and beyond $100M ARR. This is a critical hire for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, holds themselves and their team to a high standard, and brings the technical depth to build a best-in-class accounting organization. You'll own the full accounting function - close, compliance, reporting, and controls - and serve as a trusted partner to Finance, Revenue, and operational teams across the business.
