# Finance Manager at Coram AI

- **Company:** Coram AI
- **Location:** Sunnyvale, CA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-09-01
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-12

## Job description

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

You will own the model. That means the financial forecast of the business, the analysis that sits around it, and the reporting that tells the leadership team where we actually are against plan. This is the FP&A half of the finance function. We are hiring a Controller separately to own accounting and close, so this role is not a catch-all finance seat. You get one clear half of the function and you own it.

## What you'll own

- The company financial model and the forecast: building it, maintaining it, and defending it.
- Regular reporting on actuals versus plan, with early flags when something is drifting.
- The explanation behind the numbers. Why revenue moved, why spend landed where it did, what it means for the next two quarters.
- Cross-functional depth across sales, marketing, R&D and finance. You need to understand what each team is actually doing and how that shows up in the numbers.
- The analysis leadership uses to make decisions: headcount, spend, pricing, planning cycles.

## What we're looking for

- 5–10 years of relevant experience. This is a hands-on owner role/
- SaaS operating experience. You have worked inside a SaaS business and understand how the model behaves.
- Real ownership of something that mattered. A model, a forecast, a P&L line, with a clear story about the impact it had on the business.
- You have seen scale. Tell us what stage the company was at when you joined and what stage it was at when you left.
- Strong business acumen and very high attention to detail.
- Fluency in your own work. You can walk through a complex model you built and talk credibly about forecast accuracy.

Bonus points

- Exposure to fundraising.
- Exposure to the go-to-market side of the business.

We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.

Founded by Ashesh Jain (ex-Lyft Level 5, PhD Cornell) and Peter Ondruska (ex-Lyft, PhD Oxford), Coram AI is backed by Ansa Capital, Battery Ventures, Mosaic, 8VC and Up Partners, have raised over $65M, and were named to the CB Insights AI 100 as one of the most promising AI companies in the world. If you're excited to work on mission-critical AI that makes an impact in the real world, we’d love to meet you.

## About Coram AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Coram AI provides an AI-native physical security platform that unifies video security, access control, guest management, and emergency response into a single system.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Sunnyvale, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Ashesh Jain (CEO, former head of autonomy for Lyft’s self-driving division) and Peter Ondruska (former head of AI research at Lyft and Toyota’s Woven division)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Physical Security / AI Security Software
- **Target Customers**: B2B — serves school districts, healthcare organizations, manufacturers, government agencies, places of worship, hospitality groups, retailers, and Fortune 500 enterprises.
- **Mission/Purpose**: Bring modern AI to physical security to help organizations identify risks earlier, investigate faster, and respond before incidents escalate — without requiring costly rip-and-replace of existing camera infrastructure.

## Products & Services
- **AI-Native Physical Security Platform**: A cloud-based, unified platform that integrates video security, access control, guest management, and emergency management. Works with any existing IP camera — no rip-and-replace required.
- **Video Security**: AI-powered video monitoring with real-time alerts for weapons, falls, and PPE violations, plus natural language video search and "Deep Investigation" agents that autonomously generate reports across cameras and data.
- **Access Control**: Integrates with 99% of existing access control infrastructure; enables tailgating detection, forced door alerts, and remote door control from anywhere.
- **Guest Management**: Streamlined visitor check-in with ID-based background checks, pre-approved visitor lists, and real-time visitor movement tracking linked to video events.
- **Emergency Management**: Built-in panic buttons, mobile triggers, and alert workflows; integrates with emergency services for coordinated response; compliant with Alyssa’s Law requirements.

## Market Standing
- **Latest Funding**: $35 million Series B (announced June 2026), co-led by **Ansa Capital** and **Battery Ventures**, with participation from UP.Partners, 8VC, and Mosaic Ventures.
- **Total Funding**: $66 million (Series A of $13.8 million in 2025, plus Series B).
- **Revenue Growth**: 4x revenue jump and tripling of customer base since the Series A round.
- **Customer Base**: Over 1,500 sites across the U.S. and Canada, including Fortune 500 companies, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, Hershey’s Ice Cream, World YMCA, Lakepointe Church, large school districts, healthcare providers, manufacturers, and municipalities.
- **Team Size**: ~100 employees (as of mid-2026), with +128.8% YoY headcount growth.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-First Architecture**: Founded by AI researchers from Lyft’s and Zoox’s autonomous driving divisions — Coram applies the same computer vision and AI that helps cars understand the physical world to physical security.
- **No Rip-and-Replace**: Works with 99% of existing IP cameras and access control infrastructure, dramatically lowering deployment cost and friction.
- **Unified Platform**: Consolidates video, access, visitors, and emergency response into one system — eliminating the need to stitch together separate tools.
- **Deep Investigation Agents**: Autonomous AI agents that analyze video, access events, and visitor activity across cameras and time — reducing investigation times from hours/weeks to minutes.
- **Strong Traction with Complex Verticals**: Proven in security-sensitive environments like schools, hospitals, manufacturing, churches, and government.

## Strategic Focus
- **Sales Expansion**: Aggressively growing sales capacity to meet demand that is outpacing the team.
- **AI Product Development**: Continued investment in AI research, including the new "Deep Investigation" autonomous agents.
- **Customer Success**: Scaling the customer success organization to support rapid customer base growth.

## Why Work Here
- **Cutting-Edge AI Work**: Engineering roles involve applying state-of-the-art computer vision, NLP, and autonomous agent technology to real-world physical security problems.
- **High Growth Stage**: Series B, 4x revenue growth, 128% headcount growth YoY — employees join early in a hypergrowth trajectory.
- **Open Positions (20 active)**: Roles across engineering (Infrastructure, AI, C++), product management, sales, marketing, growth, and strategic finance.
- **Founding Team Pedigree**: Co-founders from Lyft’s autonomous driving division (acquired by Toyota/Woven) and Zoox — strong technical leadership and autonomy/AI expertise.
- **Culture**: Described as an "AI-native" culture — the company is built by engineers and researchers who value automation, efficiency, and modern technology.
- **Hybrid/Remote**: Based in Sunnyvale, CA; roles may offer hybrid or remote flexibility depending on position.
- **Key Perks**: Opportunity to shape the physical security industry with AI, work on mission-critical safety technology used by schools and hospitals, and contribute to a platform that helps prevent incidents rather than just documenting them.
