The posting

About Us

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Meta.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

We're looking for our first dedicated internal Controller to own our accounting function end to end. Surge has grown fast and profitably, and our accounting needs have grown with it: complex revenue arrangements with the world's largest AI labs and a global workforce. You'll build the accounting processes and systems that let us scale with confidence, and you'll be hands-on while you do it.

What You'll Do

- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, and drive it toward faster, cleaner, more automated cycles

- Ensure GAAP-compliant financials, with particular depth in revenue recognition for usage-based and milestone-based enterprise contracts

- Own accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, and collections, including invoicing at enterprise scale

- Manage accounting for our global workforce, including contractor payments and payroll in partnership with our PEO

- Design and implement internal controls appropriate for our stage, and strengthen them as we grow

- Coordinate federal, state, and international tax compliance with outside advisors

- Manage relationships with outside accountants and tax advisors, and grow the accounting team over time

- Evaluate and implement accounting systems and tooling that scale with the business

- Partner with our Director of FP&A on the handoff between actuals and planning, so reporting and forecasting run off the same numbers

- Work closely with Legal and People on contract structuring, compensation, and compliance

What We're Looking for

- 8+ years of accounting experience, ideally including time as an Assistant Controller or accounting lead at a high-growth company

- CPA strongly preferred, with strong GAAP fluency and hands-on ASC 606 experience for enterprise revenue

- Comfort with international operations, including global payroll and contractor payments across jurisdictions

- Builder mentality: you've stood up processes and systems from scratch, not just inherited them

- Self-sufficient and resourceful. You figure things out without needing hand-holding

- Clear communicator who can explain accounting judgments to non-finance audiences, including leadership

- Hands-on builder who likes to get in the weeds

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.
