Benefits
Additional Information
The Mission We are building deep-tech infrastructure at the intersection of AI, spatial intelligence, and camera systems, the kind of company that scales fast, sells to governments, police, defence and enterprises. We are hiring a Finance Lead to own the company's financial foundation as we scale. This role is responsible for end-to-end accounting, audit readiness, financial controls, and operating discipline. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will run the books, manage audits, build financial infrastructure, and work directly with the CEO on planning, capital management, and execution. You will help ensure the company scales quickly without financial fragility. If you are looking for a passive reporting role, this is not it. If you want to build systems that will hold up through growth, fundraising, and scrutiny, this role is for you. We're looking for a Finance Lead who can own the numbers end-to-end - from day-to-day accounting to audits, board reporting, and scaling our financial systems for the next stage of growth. This is not a back-office role. You will sit close to the CEO, investors, auditors, and operators - and help the company move faster because finance is rock solid.
