About the role

  • Deepgram's voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency.
  • There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.
  • At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset-AI use and comfort aren't optional, they're core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Responsibilities

  • Quarterback the external audit - build the policy library, stand up the PBC process, and serve as the primary technical point of contact for auditors. Defend positions independently.
  • Scope and manage external technical accounting advisors - direct their work, decide when to bring them in versus execute in-house, and hold them to our standards.
  • Own the relationship with valuation specialists on 409As, purchase price allocations, and intangible asset valuations.
  • Partner with tax advisors on international transfer pricing and intercompany accounting.
  • Lay the foundation for SEC reporting (S-1, 10-K, 10-Q) and SOX readiness - design the workflows, controls, and calendars that will support public-company operations.
  • Develop and document accounting policies that are clear, defensible, and scalable.
  • Leverage AI aggressively - for research, memo drafting, tie-outs, disclosure benchmarking, and workflow automation - and build your own tooling where it helps.
  • Build the team as we scale.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of progressive experience in technical accounting and/or financial reporting, with deep fluency in US GAAP.
  • Experience preparing GAAP financial statements and footnotes from scratch, not just reviewing them.
  • Experience managing external auditors and external accounting consultants - you know how to scope, direct, and push back.
  • Strong written and verbal communication - you can translate technical accounting for non-accountants without losing precision.
  • Capitalized software accounting experience in a SaaS or AI business.
  • Experience coordinating with valuation specialists on 409As, PPAs, or intangible asset valuations.
  • Working knowledge of Workiva, NetSuite, FloQast, or similar tools - and strong opinions about them.

Compensation

  • Own technical accounting across the topics that will define our audit and S-1, including revenue recognition (ASC 606), stock-based compensation and equity transactions (ASC 718), capitalized software (internal-use and software to be sold

Benefits

  • Hands-on technical range across revenue (606), equity comp (718), leases (842), and business combinations (805) - you can take on a gnarly issue and come back with a defensible memo you drafted yourself.
