Head of Finance / CFO

Finance & Legal · San Francisco · FullTime · Lead level This is the single finance owner reporting to the CEO, covering bookkeeping and closes for a US parent and a Japanese subsidiary, spend controls, tax and compliance in both countries, and finance for a coming mobile game launch. It also reaches into GPU cost planning, vendor contracts and possible acquisitions. A strong candidate has run finance at a startup before, has built models across several entities or heavy infrastructure spend, and is happy working hands on without a team. How it fits the AI era AI is part of how the work gets done, since the role expects running finance alone with a fleet of agents, which suggests routine tasks like reconciliations and reporting can be automated. Judgment stays human: tax positions, transfer pricing, contract negotiation, deal diligence and deciding what a compute commitment is really worth. The person also needs to understand why fans pay for anime and games, which no tool can supply. How it builds AI experience The company trains anime image models and builds AI-powered games, so the role offers a close look at what it costs to run GPUs in the cloud and on owned hardware, and how that cost flows into pricing and revenue. To build experience, practice setting up agent-assisted close and expense workflows, and learn to model compute spend and per-user revenue for AI-driven consumer products.
