• Deep working knowledge of ASC 606, including variable consideration, multiple performance obligations, and usage-based revenue models

• Experience with NetSuite (or comparable ERP) and a modern billing platform
• Based in San Francisco or New York, with the ability to work in-person 3+ days per week

Desirable

• We're looking for a Revenue Accounting Manager to own billing, contract review, and revenue recognition as Baseten scales
• This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone who wants full ownership of the revenue cycle at a company where deal structures are getting more complex: usage-based pricing, committed capacity, credits, multi-year enterprise contracts, and new business models coming online
• You'll join Lauren, who built Baseten's quote-to-cash function from the ground up, to take on billing, contract review, and revenue recognition as deal volume and complexity grow
• Having completed our first year-end audit, we're now focused on tightening contract review processes, close procedures, and reporting rigor to support the scale ahead
• You'll partner closely with Lauren, FP&A, Sales, Legal, and Revenue Operations to make sure every deal is structured, billed, and recognized correctly from day one
• Baseten is building the infrastructure layer for AI-native companies, and we're scaling quickly - in deal volume, contract complexity, and customer size
• If you want real ownership over a growing function on a lean team, this role offers real scope
• Revenue Recognition and Technical Accounting:
• Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 across all contract types, including usage-based/consumption arrangements, committed capacity deals, credits, multi-year contracts, and new business models
• Serve as the go-to person on rev rec treatment for new deal structures, products, and pricing models
• Billing Operations:
• Own end-to-end billing: invoice generation, accuracy checks, and dispute resolution
• Identify and automate manual, error-prone steps in the billing-to-cash workflow
• Assist with strengthening our collections efforts and overall process
• Contract Review and Deal Support:
• Build and maintain a standardized contract review process for Sales and Legal, flagging non-standard terms that affect recognition before deals close
• Partner directly with Sales, Revenue Operations, and Legal as a proactive advisor on deal structuring
• Sales and Indirect Tax:
• Own the sales and indirect tax process, including reviewing and maintaining our tax automation tool (nexus tracking, exemption certificates, filings), and building the governance around it as we scale into new jurisdictions
• Close and Reporting:
• Own the revenue-related monthly close: deferred revenue rollforward, unbilled AR, credit memos, and revenue reserves
• Partner with FP&A to reconcile billed vs. recognized revenue and support ARR reporting and forecasting
• Own revenue-related audit deliverables, including technical memos and sample testing support
