About The Position

Decagon is scaling fast, and we're building the finance function to match. As one of our first finance hires, you'll sit at the center of our most critical decisions — owning planning, stress-testing bets, and partnering directly with our co-founders and leadership team to allocate capital against our biggest opportunities. This isn't a reporting role. You'll shape how we think, not just track how we did.

3-5 years of experience in Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, or a closely related role at a high-growth technology company
