Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.
Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.
We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.
We are looking for an Accounting Manager to own the revenue operations function end to end—from how usage gets billed, to how revenue is recognized under U.S. GAAP, to how cash gets collected and reconciled. You'll sit at the intersection of accounting, billing systems, and our go-to-market motion, and you'll be the technical owner of revenue recognition for a consumption-based GPU cloud business spanning multiple legal entities.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable writing a technical accounting memo and digging into a billing reconciliation. Given our post-merger, pre-audit-completion stage, you'll also play a meaningful part in recasting and supporting historical revenue as we work through our financial audit. This is a chance to have ownership and direct line to our finance leadership as you build out the accounting infrastructure.
You will be joining the Finance Team and report to our Controller. This is a hybrid role based in our San Francisco office with in-office requirements of 2 days per week. The salary range for this role is $140,000-$190,000.
We are committed to offering competitive compensation that reflects the value each team member brings to our mission. Final offers are based on factors such as experience, skills, geographic location, and role expectations. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package for eligible roles includes a discretionary bonus, a meaningful equity component, and comprehensive benefits.
We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success. Benefits may vary by location, team, and role.
Benefits include:
