Company mission
To push the boundaries of AI development, bringing decades of experience, innovation, and a passion for cutting-edge technology to every project we undertake.
Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3+ years in a high-growth startup leadership role
- Deep expertise in core business metrics and KPIs and hardware/edge-related business models
- Strong proficiency in modern finance stacks (e.g., NetSuite, Rippling, Mosaic, etc.)
- Excellent communication skills—able to distill complex financial data into actionable insights for the Board and the team
- Startup Veteran: You’ve been in the trenches. You have a proven track record of scaling a company from the $10M mark through significant growth phases
- Accounting Expert: You likely started in accounting or have a CPA. You understand the "why" behind the numbers and can build a robust compliance foundation
- Scrappy & Driven: You don't wait for a manual; you write it. You thrive in fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environments and possess a "no task is too small" attitude
- Technically Minded: You have a genuine interest in (or experience with) AI and deep tech. You can speak the language of our engineers and understand the unit economics of AI infrastructure
- Team-First: You are a low-ego, high-output collaborator who cares deeply about the mission and the people
What the job involves
- We need a "builder" in the truest sense. You will be responsible for taking our current foundation and architecting a world-class finance function
- You’ll be the right hand to the leadership team, ensuring we have the capital, discipline, and strategic insight to scale from $10M to $100M+
- This isn't a "sit back and manage" role. We need someone scrappy, hard-working, and deeply technical who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty with accounting entries one hour and lead a board-level strategic planning session the next
- Strategic Scaling: Lead the financial transition from an early-stage startup to a scaled enterprise, managing everything from revenue forecasting to complex cap table management
- Operational Excellence: Build and oversee the entire accounting function (AP/AR, payroll, tax, audit). You’ll ensure our books are "Big Four" ready while maintaining startup agility
- Capital Allocation: Manage burn, optimize runway, and partner with the CEO/COO on future fundraising rounds and investor relations
- AI-Driven Finance: Leverage your technical background to implement cutting-edge AI tools to automate internal workflows, making our finance department a model of efficiency
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with Engineering and Sales to align product milestones with financial targets and go-to-market strategies
Our take
Worldwide spending on edge computing is growing at an astronomical rate. But, as organisations move to migrate their apps to the edge, the disparate nature of their approaches is making deployment difficult.
Code Metal is out to combat this with its modular, AI-powered workflows that support simpler and faster edge development. Its approach has been honed by previous work translating complex research algorithms for platform use, which it is now focusing on hardware apps for the edge.
The company has already made a splash in the space through some high-profile partnerships with the likes of L3Harris, a renowned American defence contractor. It has also raised substantial funding that it will use to expand its team, platform and launch within key industries.
