About the Role 

As our Senior Accountant, you'll own core pieces of the close and help build the processes, controls, and systems our accounting function will run on as we scale. You'll keep our books accurate and audit-ready under both US GAAP and federal cost accounting rules and help lay the groundwork for a SOX-ready control environment. This is a hands-on build role. You'll design processes, not just maintain them.
