HappyRobot is the infrastructure for enterprises to build and orchestrate AI workforces. Our AI workers don't just communicate - they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across voice, email, and enterprise systems. Born in Y Combinator (S23) and backed by a16z and Base10 with over $60M raised, we power critical operations for global enterprises worldwide.
Our platform is battle-tested in the most demanding environments - where AI has real consequences. We started in logistics, built our own voice stack, models, and orchestration layer from the ground up, and are now bringing that infrastructure to every enterprise that runs the real economy. Learn more about our vision in our manifesto.
Role Overview
HappyRobot is hiring a Head of Accounting — a builder and owner who will bring our accounting function in-house and establish the financial foundation for our next phase of growth. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you'll be the company's accounting lead: closing the books, owning order-to-cash, preparing us for our first audit, selecting and implementing the right ERP and AI-powered finance tools, and designing the processes and controls that will scale with us. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at a critical inflection point — not a role for someone who wants to maintain what exists, but for someone energized by building from scratch. You need to be operationally sharp, deeply curious about how the business works, and willing to roll up your sleeves every single day.
What You’ll Do
- Own close: Run the monthly close end-to-end — journal entries, reconciliations, financial statements — with accuracy and improving speed over time. Establish a close calendar and repeatable processes that get tighter every month.
- Build the accounting foundation: Design and document accounting policies, internal controls, and workflows from the ground up with the Head of Finance. There is a lot of white space, which is both the challenge and the opportunity.
- Lead order-to-cash: Own the full cycle from invoicing through collections — working cross-functionally with Sales and Customer Success to ensure accuracy, reduce time-to-payment, and flag issues early.
- Drive ERP selection and implementation: Evaluate our current tools and lead the process of selecting and implementing the right ERP for where we're going. Bring a systems-thinking mindset — understand what integrates well, what will scale, and what the real cost of switching will be later.
- Identify and adopt the right AI finance tools (including our own): We build AI for a living — we expect our own finance function to use it intelligently. Proactively identify where AI-powered tools (for close automation, reconciliation, AP, etc.) can eliminate manual work and improve accuracy.
- Prepare us for our first audit: Own audit readiness end-to-end: building audit-ready workpapers, managing the relationship with external auditors, and ensuring we can move through our first audit efficiently and cleanly.
- Support strategic decisions: Partner with the Head of Finance on financial analysis, diligence support, and any corporate development activity. You'll be a thought partner, not just a reporter of numbers.
- Ensure compliance: Own tax filings (federal, state, local), entity-level compliance, and any relevant regulatory requirements. Know when to manage internally and when to engage outside counsel or advisors.
Must Have
- Builder mindset above all else: You're energized by the 0-to-1 work at a startup to help scale revenue — setting up systems, writing the first version of a policy, figuring out the right process when no playbook exists. You take ownership without being asked.
- Operationally minded: You think about accounting in terms of workflows, systems, and business logic — not just debits and credits. You want to understand why a transaction happens, not just how to record it.
- Scrappy and hands-on: No task is too junior. You're as comfortable chasing down a late payment as you are presenting a close package to leadership. Any sign of "that's not my job" is a non-starter here.
- Strong foundation, not necessarily deep specialization: We're not looking for someone who's spent years mastering one narrow technical area. We want someone with solid GAAP fundamentals, good judgment on revenue recognition, and the intellectual honesty to know when to ask for help.
- 10–16 years of relevant experience: Big 4 or national firm experience (2–4 years) is a strong signal — the rigor, audit exposure, and breadth of client work translates well to this role. Experience at a high-growth startup is a plus but not required. What matters is that you're hungry, adaptable, and ready to own something real.
- Systems fluency: You've worked with ERP systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar) and have opinions about what works and what doesn't. Bonus if you've been through an ERP selection or implementation before.
- Clear communicator: You can explain accounting concepts to engineers, salespeople, and founders without jargon. You're comfortable pushing back when something doesn't make financial sense.
- Integrity and discretion: You'll have access to sensitive company and customer financial information. We need someone we trust completely.
Why join us?
- Opportunity to work at a high-growth AI startup, backed by top investors.
- Rapidly growing and backed by top investors including a16z, Y Combinator, and Base10.
- Ownership & Autonomy - Take full ownership of projects and ship fast.
- Top-Tier Compensation - Competitive salary + equity in a high-growth startup.
- Comprehensive Benefits - Healthcare, dental, vision coverage.
- Work With the Best - Join a world-class team of engineers and builders.
Our Operating Principles:
Extreme Ownership
We take full responsibility for our work, outcomes, and team success. No excuses, no blame-shifting — if something needs fixing, we own it and make it better. This means stepping up, even when it’s not “your job.” If a ball is dropped, we pick it up. If a customer is unhappy, we fix it. If a process is broken, we redesign it. We don’t wait for someone else to solve it — we lead with accountability and expect the same from those around us.
Craftsmanship
Putting care and intention into every task, striving for excellence, and taking deep ownership of the quality and outcome of your work. Craftsmanship means never settling for “just fine.” We sweat the details because details compound. Whether it’s a product feature, an internal doc, or a sales call — we treat it as a reflection of our standards. We aim to deliver jaw-dropping customer experiences by being curious, meticulous, and proud of what we build — even when nobody’s watching.
We are “majos”
Be friendly & have fun with your coworkers. Always be genuine & honest, but kind. “Majo” is our way of saying: be a good human. Be approachable, helpful, and warm. We’re building something ambitious, and it’s easier (and more fun) when we enjoy the ride together. We give feedback with kindness, challenge each other with respect, and celebrate wins together without ego.
Urgency with Focus
Create the highest impact in the shortest amount of time. Move fast, but in the right direction. We operate with speed because time is our most limited resource. But speed without focus is chaos. We prioritize ruthlessly, act decisively, and stay aligned. We aim for high leverage: the biggest results from the simplest, smartest actions. We’re running a high-speed marathon — not a sprint with no strategy.
Talent Density and Meritocracy
Hire only people who can raise the average; ‘exceptional performance is the passing grade.’ Ability trumps seniority. We believe the best teams are built on talent density — every hire should raise the bar. We reward contribution, not titles or tenure. We give ownership to those who earn it, and we all hold each other to a high standard. A-players want to work with other A-players — that’s how we win.
First-Principles Thinking
Strip a problem to physics-level facts, ignore industry dogma, rebuild the solution from scratch. We don’t copy-paste solutions. We go back to basics, ask why things are the way they are, and rebuild from the ground up if needed. This mindset pushes us to innovate, challenge stale assumptions, and move faster than incumbents. It’s how we build what others think is impossible.
Compensation Range: $150K - $210K
The personal data provided in your application and during the selection process will be processed by Happyrobot, Inc., acting as Data Controller.
By sending us your CV, you consent to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of evaluating and selecting you as a candidate for the position. Your personal data will be treated confidentially and will only be used for the recruitment process of the selected job offer.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding HappyRobot H-1B Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Target roles aligned with HappyRobot's core technology stack
HappyRobot operates in technology and software, so H-1B sponsorship tends to follow engineering and technical product roles. Focus your application on positions where your specialty occupation credentials directly match the job requirements.
Raise H-1B sponsorship early in the interview process
Don't wait until an offer is on the table to discuss visa needs. Mention your H-1B requirement in your initial recruiter screen so HappyRobot can confirm sponsorship availability for that specific role before both sides invest significant time.
Demonstrate a clear specialty occupation connection
H-1B eligibility hinges on your role qualifying as a specialty occupation. When applying to HappyRobot, make sure your resume and cover letter explicitly connect your degree field to the technical responsibilities of the position you're targeting.
Search for open roles on platforms that verify sponsorship history
Not every job listing signals genuine H-1B sponsorship willingness. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, helping you identify HappyRobot openings where H-1B support is confirmed.
Understand the H-1B cap and timing before applying
H-1B visas are subject to an annual lottery with a registration window each March. If HappyRobot makes you an offer, you'll need to align your start date with the cap cycle, so both parties should plan hiring timelines accordingly.
Prepare documentation that supports your specialty occupation claim
HappyRobot's HR and legal teams will need to build a strong I-129 petition on your behalf. Have your degree transcripts, prior work authorization records, and a clear job description ready to accelerate the sponsorship process once an offer is extended.
HappyRobot H-1B Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does HappyRobot sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, HappyRobot sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying roles in its technology and software operations. Sponsorship is role-specific rather than company-wide, so candidates should confirm H-1B support with the recruiter for their particular position. Roles that meet the specialty occupation standard are the most likely to receive sponsorship consideration.
Which roles at HappyRobot are most likely to receive H-1B sponsorship?
H-1B sponsorship at HappyRobot is concentrated in technical and software-focused positions where a degree in a specific field is a genuine requirement of the job. Engineering, product development, and data-oriented roles within its technology operations tend to align most naturally with the specialty occupation definition that H-1B requires.
How do I navigate the H-1B application process at HappyRobot?
Once HappyRobot extends an offer, their legal or HR team will work with an immigration attorney to file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and then submit Form I-129 to USCIS on your behalf. Your role is to provide documentation supporting your qualifications, degree credentials, and prior work history. The employer handles all petition filings.
How do I know what timeline to expect for H-1B sponsorship at HappyRobot?
The H-1B timeline depends on whether you're subject to the annual cap lottery, which runs each March for an October 1 start date. If you're already in H-1B status with another employer, a transfer to HappyRobot can happen more quickly through a concurrent or consecutive filing. Build at least several months of lead time into your planning. Migrate Mate can help you identify open HappyRobot roles with verified sponsorship so you can start the process at the right moment.
How do I strengthen my H-1B application when targeting HappyRobot?
The strongest H-1B applications at technology companies like HappyRobot pair a clearly relevant degree with a job description that requires that specific field of study. Before applying, review the role's requirements closely and make sure your resume reflects the technical depth and educational background that supports a specialty occupation petition. Proactively asking the recruiter about sponsorship availability signals seriousness and saves time for both sides.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B jobs at HappyRobot?
H-1B employers must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is determined when they file the Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor. The rate is based on the role, location, and experience level, and ensures international hires are paid comparably to U.S. workers in the same position. You can look up prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
