The Role:We need a "builder" in the truest sense. You will be responsible for taking our current foundation and architecting a world-class finance function. You'll be the right hand to the leadership team, ensuring we have the capital, discipline, and strategic insight to scale from
$10M to $100M+.
This isn't a "sit back and manage" role. We need someone
scrappy, hard-working, and deeply technical who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty with accounting entries one hour and lead a board-level strategic planning session the next.
Key Responsibilities:- Strategic Scaling: Lead the financial transition from an early-stage startup to a scaled enterprise, managing everything from bookings, backlog, and revenue forecasting to complex cap table management.
- Operational Excellence: Build and oversee the entire accounting function (AP/AR, payroll, tax, audit). You'll ensure our books are "Big Four" ready while maintaining startup agility.
- Capital Allocation: Manage burn, optimize runway, and partner with the CEO on future fundraising rounds and investor relations.
- AI-Driven Finance: Leverage your technical background to implement cutting-edge AI tools to automate internal workflows, making our finance department a model of efficiency.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with Engineering and Sales to align product milestones with financial targets and go-to-market strategies.
Who You Are:- Startup Veteran: You've been in the trenches. You have a proven track record of scaling a company from the $10M mark through significant growth phases.
- Scrappy & Driven: You don't wait for a manual; you write it. You thrive in fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environments and possess a "no task is too small" attitude.
- Big Picture & Detail Oriented: You can both speak to a long-range plan, but also put in place the operational building blocks to support the business through that growth.
- Technically-Minded: You have a genuine interest in (or experience with) AI and deep tech. You can speak the language of our engineers and understand the unit economics of AI infrastructure.
- Accounting Expert: You may have started in accounting or have a CPA, but more importantly, you understand the "why" behind the numbers and can build a robust compliance foundation.
- Team-First: You are a low-ego, high-output collaborator who cares deeply about the mission and the people.
Qualifications:- 10+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3+ years in a high-growth startup leadership role.
- Deep expertise in core financial metrics & KPIs and hardware/edge-related business models.
- Strong proficiency in modern finance stacks (e.g., NetSuite/Rillet, Rippling, Ramp, Mosaic, etc.).
- Excellent communication skills - able to distill complex financial data into actionable insights for the Board and the team.
Why Code Metal?- Impact: You will be building the function from the ground up, driving our strategic direction, and supporting key decisions.
- Innovation: We are solving some of the hardest problems in AI and hardware.
- Culture: A high-intensity, high-reward environment where we value "the work" above all else.
