## Job description

## About Ritual

Ritual is building a sovereign, execution layer for AI, with our private testnet already live and running. The Ritual chain is the first blockchain custom-built to support AI-native operations, designed from the ground up to enable a new class of applications at the intersection of crypto and AI. Our first product, Infernet, is pioneering new ground as the first solution to enable developers to access AI models both on-chain via smart contracts and off-chain, demonstrating our commitment to bridging these transformative technologies.

## About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on Controller to build and oversee our financial operations as we scale.

You’ll work directly with the founders and leadership team to manage all accounting, financial reporting, and compliance functions across both fiat and crypto assets. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and wants to help shape the financial foundation of a next-generation technology company.

- Oversee all financial operations and serve as the internal owner for accounting, treasury, and financial reporting, while coordinating execution with external accounting and tax partners.
- Maintain robust internal controls over fiat and digital assets, ensuring proper reconciliation, documentation, and authorization processes.
- Manage company treasury, including crypto and fiat holdings, stablecoin liquidity, and vendor payments.
- Monitor and report financial position, cash runway, and budget-to-actual performance for management and investors.
- Own financial systems and process design, implementing efficient tools for expense tracking, payments, and internal reporting.
- Coordinate financial reporting cycles (monthly/quarterly/annual close) with external partners to ensure timely and accurate statements.
- Support token operations, including warrant tracking, token vesting, treasury management, and coordination with token administration platforms.
- Collaborate with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning for both fiat and crypto assets.
- Ensure compliance and risk management across all financial operations, including custody, KYC/AML practices, and digital asset handling.
- Prepare investor and board materials, summarizing key financial metrics, burn, and strategic initiatives.
- Partner with legal and finance teams to support fundraising, audits, and due diligence processes.

## About you

- 5+ years of accounting/finance experience, ideally including early-stage startups or fast-growth environments.
- Strong understanding of US GAAP and accounting best practices.
- Experience managing or reconciling crypto transactions and digital assets (DeFi, tokens, stablecoins, etc.).
- Familiarity with crypto-native tooling.
- Knowledge of AI or technology sector financial operations (e.g., cloud compute, SaaS, R&D capitalization).
- Proven ability to design and implement accounting processes in a startup setting.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to explain complex financial topics clearly.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently.

## Why join us

- Highly competitive compensation package, including annual discretionary bonus & optimized tax structure compared to the vast majority of web3 startups
- Top 1% of benefits across the web3 startup space

## About Ritual

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Ritual is a social ordering app and online ordering platform that connects local restaurants with customers, offices, and building tenants, enabling convenient order‑ahead and pickup.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funded – Seed, Series B, Series C, and later rounds; total funding $137.3M)
- **Headquarters**: Toronto, Ontario, Canada (with additional offices in the United States)
- **Founded**: 2014
- **Founders**: Ray Reddy (CEO & Co‑founder) – additional co‑founders are not publicly named in the available sources.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Food technology / Consumer services (online ordering, restaurant technology, employee meal perks)
- **Target customers**: B2B (companies offering meal perks to employees, building management) and B2C (individuals ordering takeout). Secondary customers are restaurants (especially independents) wanting a low‑commission ordering channel.
- **Mission / purpose**: “We’re for restaurants and the people who love them” – helping local businesses thrive online by providing affordable technology and fostering community around food.

## Products & Services
- **Ritual App (Consumer)**: A mobile app that lets users order ahead from nearby restaurants, skip the line, and pay. Includes a unique “social ordering” feature where co‑workers can add orders to a single pickup.
- **Ritual for Restaurants**: An online ordering system that gives independent restaurants a digital presence with lower commissions than major delivery platforms.
- **Ritual for Offices & Buildings**: Meal program and tenant rewards that make it easy for companies to offer daily lunch credits, connecting office workers with local eateries.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue of **$30M** (latest available); total funding **$137.3M** across 5 rounds.
- **Notable Investors**: Insight Partners (led Series B), Mantella Venture Partners, Mistral Venture Partners (seed), and others.
- **Growth Signals**: Small team of ~15 employees (down ~26% YoY, indicating a lean operation); acquired AllChecked.in in 2021; presence in North America and Australia; continues to serve both consumers and enterprise meal‑perk programs.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Restaurant‑first model**: Lower commission structure compared to incumbents like DoorDash, making it more attractive for independent restaurants.
- **Social ordering moat**: The ability for co‑workers to piggyback on one order creates a network effect within offices and buildings.
- **Hybrid‑work alignment**: Office meal credits and building partnerships directly address the “return‑to‑office” trend.

## Strategic Focus
- Deepening relationships with office buildings and enterprise clients to drive recurring meal‑perk revenue.
- Continuing to offer affordable technology to independent restaurants to help them compete digitally.
- Maintaining a lean, low‑burn approach while refining its product for a post‑pandemic hybrid work environment.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values include Ownership, Impact, Open‑mindedness, and Good Judgement. The team is small (15 people) so every hire has outsized impact.
- **Work policy**: Hybrid model – weekly credits are provided when in the Toronto office, and daily credits are available on office days.
- **Perks**: Ritual Credits for meals; emphasis on work‑life balance (rating 3.6/5) and culture (3.9/5) on LinkedIn.
- **Engineering culture**: Data‑driven decision making, modern tech stack (Kubernetes, Python, Google Cloud, Snowflake, React, etc.). Previous employees have gone on to top tech companies (Shopify, Amazon, Google, Wealthsimple).
- **Career growth**: Employees rate career opportunities at 3.6/5; leadership is hands‑on due to team size.
