Reporting to the Controller, you will work across the full accounting cycle — from journal entries to reconciliations and reporting schedules. You will prepare the work across AP, T&E, payroll and lease accounting, fixed assets, and the general ledger. It suits someone who wants range and wants to see how a complete accounting function gets built. The ideal candidate combines solid accounting fundamentals with a builder’s mindset. ## What You’ll Do Month-End Close and General Accounting - Prepare month-end and quarter-end close activities — journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and amortization schedules - Prepare balance sheet reconciliations and month-over-month flux analysis, with clear written explanations of drivers for the Controller - Prepare payroll accounting and lease accounting entries and their supporting schedules - Prepare fixed asset accounting — capitalization, depreciation, and asset verification per accounting policies - Prepare accounting for hardware-specific areas alongside the Controller — lab and tooling spend, mask set costs, NRE and prepaid arrangements, and multi-currency transactions and revaluation Accounts Payable and Credit cards - Manage the AP cycle in Ramp — invoice intake, coding, approval routing, three-way match against POs and receipts, and payment runs - Partner with Supply Chain and Procurement on PO matching, receipts, and invoice discrepancies — and be the person who chases them down - Serve as the primary contact for vendor inquiries and payment status, and keep those relationships smooth - Prepare 1099 filings and the supporting vendor documentation - Support the travel and expense program: expense report review, corporate card , policy compliance, and employee support - Prepare T&E accruals and card reconciliations, and flag policy exceptions to the Controller Audit, Controls and Systems - Prepare audit-ready workpapers and supporting schedules, and be a key contributor to the year-end audit and financial statement preparation - Follow and help strengthen the internal control environment, and help build processes that scale with the growth and complexity of the business - Collaborate with the Controller on the chart of accounts, accounting policies, and documented desktop procedures, and help keep them current as the business changes ## What We’re Looking For - 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on accounts payable and month-end close, ideally at a high-growth company - Working knowledge of US GAAP, and comfort preparing reconciliations and schedules that stand up to review - Hands-on with an ERP or accounting system (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or equivalent) and the surrounding stack (Ramp, Rippling, Bill.com, Navan, Expensify, or similar) - Strong Excel skills and comfort reconciling high transaction volume accurately - Detail-oriented and organized, with ownership of your close deadlines - Practical interest in applying AI and automation to accounting work - (Optional) CPA, CPA-track, or public accounting experience - (Optional) Hardware, manufacturing, or semiconductor industry background Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications. California pay range $150,000—$210,000 USD ## Compensation Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role. Additional compensation: equity grant per company guidelines; medical / dental / vision; 401(k); standard PTO. Visa Sponsorship DensityAI sponsors qualified candidates for H-1B, O-1, TN, E-3, and other employment-based visas, and we welcome applicants on F-1 OPT and STEM-OPT. Work authorization is required at start; we provide immigration support to secure or transfer status. Export Controls Aspects of this role may involve access to information subject to U.S. export controls (EAR/ITAR). We may discuss licensing or scope adjustments during the interview. ## Equal Opportunity DensityAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age (40+), sexual orientation, military or veteran status, pregnancy, or any other status protected by law. We comply with the California CROWN Act and provide reasonable accommodations on request. ## About DensityAI ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: DensityAI is building a new generation of AI accelerators around a novel memory architecture, designed specifically for frontier-scale LLM inference, integrating silicon, packaging, kernels, and serving into a single optimized system. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed Stage) - **Headquarters**: Mountain View, California, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Srikanth Arekapudi (Co-Founder), Bill Chang (Co-Founder, President, CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: AI Hardware (AI Accelerators / Semiconductors), Artificial Intelligence Inference Infrastructure - **Target customers**: B2B / Enterprise — specifically companies deploying frontier-scale large language models (LLMs) that require high-bandwidth, high-capacity inference compute. - **Mission or purpose statement**: Building the world’s fastest inference solution for frontier models, solving the memory wall problem through novel memory placement rather than traditional architecture workarounds. ## Products & Services - **DensityAI Accelerator (Platform)**: A full-stack AI inference solution — from silicon die and packaging (tiled multi-die architecture) to system rack and software kernel stack. Designed to bridge the gap between HBM-based GPUs (high capacity, low bandwidth utilization) and SRAM-based meshes (high bandwidth, low capacity). The company claims target compute utilization of ≥90% for production LLM workloads. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (stealth stage) - **Key Metric**: Total Funding — At least one Seed Round completed (Sep 2025) and earlier Seed Round (Sep 2024). Specific amounts not disclosed; operates in stealth mode. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Dolby Family Ventures, Firestreak Ventures, imec.xpand, NextGen Venture Partners, South Park Commons (6 total investors per PitchBook) - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew +450% monthly (from small base to ~9 employees); team includes alumni from Tesla, Google, Toyota North America, and multiple stealth AI startups; 2 active job postings as of mid-2025; founding team has prior experience shipping supercomputing clusters and designing silicon for the world’s largest production inference engines. ## Competitive Advantages - **Novel memory architecture**: Integrates memory directly into the compute stack, avoiding the “disaggregation penalty” of traditional GPU designs — no signals bouncing across substrates, eliminating unnecessary bottlenecks. - **Full-stack co-design**: Silicon, packaging, kernels, and serving are all designed together as one system, enabling tight integration from compute organization to software architecture. - **Performance target**: Aims to beat GPUs on both energy and speed for large-model, long-context workloads, and beat SRAM-based designs on model size and reliability — addressing a clear gap in the current market. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Scaling the engineering team (open roles: Compiler Engineer, Physical Design Engineer, Senior Design Verification Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Corporate Finance Manager, IT Support Engineer); transitioning from stealth to production-ready hardware; proving the full-stack architecture at rack scale. - **Direction for growth**: Continue refining tile-based multi-die packaging, building out the software/kernel stack, and preparing for broader deployment and customer acquisition in the frontier AI inference market. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: A deep-tech, hard-engineering culture focused on a fundamental challenge in AI hardware — the memory wall. The team is intentionally small and elite (~9 people), with a high bar for talent. The founders emphasize “building with us” and a collaborative approach across the full stack. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: The company has offices in Mountain View, CA (HQ) and South Korea. Roles appear to require on-site or hybrid presence given the hardware-focused nature of the work. - **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI silicon from concept to rack; direct exposure to all layers of the stack; team composition includes veterans from Tesla, Google, and major production inference engine builds; fast-moving startup environment with significant autonomy and impact. ## Sources 1.
