Lambda is seeking an experienced Controller to lead and scale our accounting organization during a pivotal stage of growth. Reporting to the Chief Accounting Officer, this role will play a critical leadership position in building a best-in-class controllership function to support a rapidly expanding, multi-billion-dollar AI infrastructure platform.

As Lambda continues to scale GPU cloud services, enterprise contracts, and capital-intensive data center infrastructure, this role will ensure accounting excellence and operational rigor built to support long-term strategic ambitions. The Controller will bring strong judgment, deep operational expertise, and the ability to build systems, processes, and teams that operate at public-company standards.

- Serve as a strategic thought partner to the Chief Accounting Officer and executive leadership on accounting matters

- Also serve as a partner to the Head of Technical Accounting and Financial Reporting, and the Head of Tax, both of whom also report to the Chief Accounting Officer.

You

- 15+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting and senior leadership in a high-growth technology company

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
