ABOUT AIRBYTE: We’re on a mission to make data available and actionable to everyone, everywhere. With 700+ connectors, our platform powers analytics and gives AI agents the business context they need to do real work. More than 25,000 companies, including 20% of the Fortune 500, rely on Airbyte to put their data to work. We’re built on open source because we believe companies should have full control over their data. A community of 27K members helps shape what we build, and we’re backed by $181M from investors including Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, and Y Combinator. Models keep getting better. What holds AI back is the data informing and shaping its decisions, and that's the layer we're building. We’re just getting started. If you’re excited by big challenges, meaningful ownership, and the chance to help build what’s next, we’d love to meet you.   THE ROLE: As Airbyte's Accounting Manager, you’ll own the day-to-day of our accounting operations and reporting - and you’ll help us rebuild how that work gets done, replacing manual processes and outsourced accounting firm dependencies with clean, automated, in-house workflows. We currently run a lean model with an outsourced accounting firm and a Senior Accountant. You’ll manage both, and over time help us bring accounting back in-house - taking ownership of more of the function as you go. You’ll report directly to the Director of Finance (who reports to the COO) as a thought partner on automating our close and operations, and you’ll have real room to experiment with modern tooling and AI to do it. We're hiring someone with the intention of investing in their long-term growth. As the business evolves, this role is expected to take on increasing ownership and responsibility, with the opportunity to help shape and ultimately lead the accounting function over time. If you want to build a modern accounting function - not just maintain one - this is that seat.   WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Own accounting operations and reporting - GL, AP/AR, and the general ledger close - with accuracy, timeliness, and US GAAP compliance; you’ll operate with high ownership and strong judgment. - Run the month-end close, and continuously shorten and automate it. - Manage a Senior Accountant and our outsourced accounting team, and help lead the transition of work in-house over time. - Prepare for and support external audits, including documentation, technical accounting memos, and internal controls. - Apply and help maintain technical accounting policies, including revenue recognition under ASC 606 and lease accounting under ASC 842. - Evaluate, implement, and optimize accounting systems and workflows - reducing manual work and building for scale. - Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Support to keep accounting accurate across our business systems. - Act as a thought partner to the Director of Finance on automating close and operations, including using AI where it drives real impact. - Grow into broader ownership of the accounting function as the business scales. - Perform and review detailed flux and variance analysis, identifying and proactively investigating unexpected trends or anomalies in our financials.   WHAT YOU’LL NEED: - 5+ years of progressive accounting experience. - Ideally a Big 4 audit and startup combined background. - Working knowledge of US GAAP, including revenue recognition (ASC 606) and lease accounting (ASC 842). - Strong systems instincts - you’ve evaluated, implemented, or redesigned accounting workflows and tools, and you reach for automation before manual effort. - Tech-savvy and genuinely AI-curious - you’ve explored (or are eager to explore) how automation and AI can transform accounting, and you like building. - An operational, ownership mindset - pragmatic, solution-oriented, and able to work autonomously. Startups move fast, so the ability to adapt and learn quickly is key. - A people person. We have a strong culture and care about bringing in teammates who fit in and make it better.   NICE TO HAVE: - CPA or CMA certification is a plus. - Experience implementing or migrating to a new ERP system. - Experience with PLG and/or enterprise SaaS revenue models. - Familiarity with our stack: NetSuite, Rillet, Campfire, Ramp, Carta, Orb, and Claude Code. - Experience with auditing.   LOCATION: - Onsite 4 days/week in San Francisco, CA WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING AT AIRBYTE: At Airbyte, we believe great work happens when people feel supported, trusted, and empowered to grow.
