## Job description

Controller Greptile is an AI code reviewer that catches bugs and anti-patterns in pull requests with complete context of the codebase. Hundreds of top software companies, from YC startups to big tech, and teams in finance, healthcare, and defense, use Greptile to merge PRs faster and catch more bugs. Greptile reviews 5B lines of code every month for 22,000+ customers. A new repo starts using Greptile every 2 minutes. We also uniquely offer self-hosted, air-gapped deployments for enterprises across defense, financial services, and healthcare. This is Greptile’s first accounting hire. You will report to the Head of Finance and own accounting end to end, from closing the books and writing policies to implementing an AI-native ERP. You will take us from outsourced bookkeeping to an audit-ready accounting function, then build the team as the company scales.

## Responsibilities

- Build and own the monthly and quarterly close, including reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, flux analysis, and financial statements
- Own revenue recognition across self-serve, enterprise, and usage-based contracts, including Greptile’s ASC 606 policy and supporting technical memos
- Set Greptile’s technical accounting positions across equity, leases, capitalized software, R&D capitalization, and complex deal structures
- Build the accounting for compute and inference spend, including prepaid commitments, consumption accruals, and gross margin reporting
- Lead the implementation of an AI-native ERP and its integrations across billing, banking, cards, payroll, and cap table management
- Own tax and compliance, including corporate tax, sales tax, R&D credits, 1099s, and state filings
- Run accounting operations across AP, AR, collections, payroll accounting, expenses, and treasury
- Get Greptile audit-ready and lead our first external audit
- Build the accounting team as the company grows

## Qualifications

- 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Controller, Assistant Controller, Director, or Senior Accounting Manager scope at a high-growth technology company
- CPA with a foundation in Big Four audit, ideally within a technology practice
- Deep ASC 606 experience in a subscription and consumption-based business
- Experience owning the close and leading or supporting an external audit
- Experience building an accounting function, or a major part of one, from the ground up
- Comfortable writing and defending technical accounting memos for complex transactions
- Hands-on ERP implementation experience
- You use AI seriously in your own work and have strong opinions about where it can improve accounting

## Nice to have

- Experience at a company with both self-serve and enterprise sales motions
- Experience as an accounting lead through a Series B to E fundraise or IPO diligence
- SQL proficiency or enough comfort with data to validate numbers at the source

You’ll like working here if

- You want to build an accounting function from zero instead of inheriting one
- You want to be the technical authority on the answer while remaining close to the work
- The speed and responsibility of a high-growth AI company are exciting to you
- You want a path to CAO and are willing to earn it by building the function yourself

This role is based in San Francisco and requires at least three days per week in the office.

## About Greptile

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Greptile provides an AI-powered code review agent that analyzes pull requests with full codebase context to catch bugs, enforce standards, and autonomously test changes.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Y Combinator W24; raised $4M seed + Series A – amount undisclosed – as of Sep 2025)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Daksh Gupta, Soohoon Choi, Vaishant Kameswaran

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI-powered developer tools / code quality & validation.
- **Target customers**: B2B; engineering teams at startups to enterprises (defense, healthcare, financial services).
- **Mission or purpose**: “Build agents that autonomously validate, test, and QA code changes before they are merged” – helping teams merge faster and catch more bugs as software becomes more critical.

## Products & Services
- **Greptile Core (AI Code Review)**: A SaaS platform that indexes a codebase into a graph of files, functions, and dependencies, then uses a swarm of AI agents to review every pull request. Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin). Pricing: $30/seat/month (50 credits included, $1/additional credit).
- **TREX (Autonomous Test Agent)**: An agent that writes and runs tests for every PR in a sandboxed environment to catch bugs and missed edge cases.
- **Greptile API**: Programmatic access for custom integrations, with discounted bulk pricing.
- **MCP / Claude Code Plugin**: Connects Greptile to AI agents for sharing comment context and auto-resolving issues.
- **Self-Hosted Deployment**: Available in an air-gapped AWS environment, with support for custom LLM providers. SOC 2 compliant, SSO, audit logs, dedicated support.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – $4M seed (June 2024) + Series A (amount undisclosed, announced Sep 2025). Annual revenue not publicly available.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Y Combinator (Winter 2024), Brad Flora (primary partner). Customers include Stripe, Amazon, PostHog, Raycast, Vouch, Podium, and YC’s internal software team.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 9,000+ teams using Greptile; team grew from 20 (early 2025) to 35 (latest YC profile); attracted enterprise customers in defense, healthcare, and financial services; introduced self-hosted, air-gapped deployment for compliance-heavy industries.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full codebase context**: Builds a graph index of files, functions, and dependencies (not just diff context) – catches multi-file logical bugs and style violations.
- **Continuous learning**: Reads engineers’ comments on PRs to adapt to team-specific coding standards over time.
- **Autonomous testing (TREX)**: Writes and runs tests in a sandbox for every PR, reducing manual QA burden.
- **Enterprise readiness**: SOC 2, self-hosted on customer’s VPC, SSO, audit logs, support for air-gapped environments.
- **Language support**: Full support for 12+ languages (Python, JS/TS, Go, Java, C/C++, Rust, etc.).

## Strategic Focus
- **Becoming the “central validation layer”** for all code changes, especially as AI-generated code increases.
- **Deepening integrations with coding agents** (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin) to make Greptile the default quality gate.
- **Expanding enterprise sales** into regulated industries (defense, healthcare, fintech) via self-hosted and compliance features.
- **Growing the team** – hiring across engineering, GTM, and operations (all in San Francisco).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, tight-knit team of researchers, engineers, and designers in San Francisco. High autonomy and ownership. Focus on solving hard problems in code quality.
- **Work model**: All open roles are listed as “San Francisco” – likely office-first with some flexibility (hybrid). The team is described as “based in San Francisco” and “small group”.
- **Perks & compensation**: Equity (0.10% – 0.30% for some roles per YC jobs), competitive salary ($140K–$160K for engineering roles). Discounts for open-source projects and pre-Series A startups.
- **Engineering culture**: Building agents that autonomously validate and test code; strong emphasis on quality, security, and continuous improvement. Opportunity to shape the future of code review at scale.
