Senior Accounting Manager

The San Francisco Compute Company•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We're building the company which will de-risk the largest infrastructure build-out in history. When people finance GPU clusters, the datacenters housing them, and the infrastructure powering them, they need "offtake" - meaning someone has signed a contract to lease the cluster for a period of time before its even built. Financing a GPU cluster is inherently risky, since margins are thin and volumes are huge. Lenders don't want to take on the risk that cluster developers can't repay their loan, and cluster developers really don't want to risk not selling their cluster. As a result, risk is offloaded to the customer using fixed-price long-term contracts. If you don't mitigate this customer risk, there's a bubble. This isn't SaaS anymore - application layer companies sign multi-year contracts for computer and inference, but sell to customers on monthly subscriptions. If you mess up a purchase, it's game over: a minor shift in your revenue growth rate might mean the difference between profit or bankruptcy. But what if companies could exit their contract by selling it back to the market? Otherwise, as AI scales, compute only becomes available to folks who can effectively take on that risk. A 2-person startup in a San Francisco Victorian can't realistically sign a 5-year take or pay contract on $100m supercomputers. But they may be able to buy the month of liquidity that someone else sold back. So that's what we make: a liquid market for GPU offtake. The Role We are building our accounting function from scratch, and we are looking for a Senior Accounting Manager to help lead that effort. This is a 0→1 opportunity with broad ownership. You will report into and work side-by-side with the Head of Finance to establish foundational accounting systems, processes, and controls, while also running the day-to-day accounting operation. Your work will directly enable accurate, timely financial reporting during a period of rapid growth, evolving business models, and increasing scale. You will own the accounting truth. This is not your typical accounting role. If you are energized by building rather than maintaining, and want real influence over how things are designed and run, this role gives you the chance to shape the accounting function, and beyond. You will also partner with our Marketplace Engineering team to inform and influence product features that power the SF Compute platform.
