## Job description

Description:

Zafran is looking for a Senior Accountant to be our first accounting hire in the United States and a foundational member of our growing finance team. This is a high-impact, build-from-scratch role - you won't just maintain the books, you'll help establish the financial infrastructure that scales with us. Working closely with our Finance leadership, you'll own our US accounting operations end-to-end, spanning everything from day-to-day transactions to compliance, reporting, and process-building. If you thrive in ambiguity, know how to leverage AI tools to punch above your weight, and want to leave a real mark on a fast-growing cybersecurity company, this is your seat.

About Zafran:

Our Mission: To stop the exploitations of vulnerabilities, everywhere.

What makes us different: Zafran de-risks 90% of critical vulnerabilities overnight across your hybrid environment and uses your existing security tools to rapidly mitigate and remediate the 10% most likely to be exploited.

Who’s behind us: Zafran is backed by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, and a deep belief that cybersecurity should move as fast as attackers do. We’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, scaling to meet demand from the world’s most advanced, security-obsessed organizations.

We’re serious about our mission- so expect work that matters, teammates who challenge and inspire you, and plenty of fun along the way!

What you will do:

- General Ledger Ownership: Maintain and oversee the general ledger for US entities, including posting and reviewing journal entries, ensuring accurate transaction classification, and managing intercompany entries across Zafran's global structure.
- Accruals & Month-End Close: Own the US close process end-to-end - managing accruals, prepaid expenses, and deferred revenue, ensuring all transactions are recorded, reconciled, and documented on time. Drive continuous improvements in close efficiency as we scale.
- US Tax & Compliance: Manage federal and state tax obligations, sales and use tax across jurisdictions, and ensure compliance with applicable US tax laws. Liaise with external advisors as needed - you don't need to be a tax specialist, but you need to know enough to keep us compliant and ask the right questions.
- Accounts Receivable & Payable: Own AR and AP operations, including invoice processing, collections follow-up, payment reconciliations, and vendor management.
- Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations: Own monthly reconciliations across all US accounts, ensuring accuracy and completeness of financial records.
- Systems & Tooling: Be the day-to-day owner of our core finance stack — NetSuite, Salesforce, Mesh and more, ensuring data integrity across systems and driving integrations that reduce manual work.
- AI-Powered Operations: Actively use AI tools to automate repetitive workflows, improve accuracy, and scale the finance function without scaling headcount. We want someone who sees AI as a force multiplier, not a novelty.
- Policy & Process Building: Partner with Finance leadership to design and document accounting policies, internal controls, and procedures - building the foundation the team will grow on.
- Audit Readiness: Maintain audit-ready financials, support external auditors, and ensure documentation standards are upheld across all US entities.

Requirements:

5+ years of accounting experience with strong command of US GAAP and US tax compliance (federal, state, and local)

- Hands-on experience with NetSuite, Salesforce, and Mesh (or a comparable expense/card management platform)
- Proven ownership of month-end close including accruals, prepaid schedules, and reconciliations - not just supporting, but leading
- Background in SaaS accounting, including familiarity with revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and subscription-based business models
- Startup experience is a must - you're comfortable building from zero, working without a playbook, and wearing multiple hats
- Demonstrated ability to use AI tools to streamline workflows and scale operations
- BS/BA in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA is a plus but not required

At Zafran, people matter! We provide a robust benefits program that includes flexible PTO, health insurance plans (medical, dental, vision), a monthly stipend for phone and internet, 401k, flexible spending account, and a home office stipend when joining!

We also provide access to frontier AI models, including Claude, so every employee can work smarter, move faster, and build an AI-first career from day one.

At Zafran, we’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe the best teams are built by people who think differently, come from all kinds of backgrounds, and aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. We welcome everyone across race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, and veteran status, because what matters most is what you bring to the table.

If you’re curious, fun, and someone who gets things done, we’d love to meet you

## Company Overview

## Products & Services
- **Zafran Threat Exposure Management Platform** (SaaS / agentic): End-to-end platform that unifies findings across cloud, on-prem, and AppSec; assesses risk using runtime presence, reachability, exploitability, asset criticality, and existing controls; enables proactive exposure hunting; provides mitigation guidance that leverages compensating controls; and automates remediation via RemOps (generative AI‑powered remediation operations). [zafran.io/platform]
- **Zafran Detector** (released Aug 2025): Continuous vulnerability discovery tool that supplements existing scanners. [linkedin.com]
- **Agentic Remediation™**: AI agents that research CVE conditions, validate exploitability on live assets, generate remediation scripts, and maintain human oversight with approval workflows. [zafran.io/platform]

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $105.5M as of December 2025. Breakdown: Seed $5.5M (Mar 2024), Series B $40M (Sep 2024, led by Sequoia Capital and Cyberstarts), Series C $60M (Dec 2025, led by Menlo Ventures). [linkedin.com]

- **Leverages existing defenses**: Rather than demanding new agents or patch‑only fixes, Zafran maps exposures to compensating controls and provides step‑by‑step mitigation guidance, shrinking exposure windows before patching begins. [zafran.io/platform]
- **Closed‑loop automation**: Agentic Remediation and RemOps reduce manual triage, consolidate overlapping CVEs into single remediation actions, and route work automatically via ticketing integrations. [zafran.io/platform]
