to real product economics, and operate within a strong internal control environment. It's a role with genuine scope early on: hardware accounting sits at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, and Operations, so you'll spend as much time with cross-functional partners understanding what's actually happening in the supply chain as you will in the ledger. We're also rebuilding how this work gets done. We expect our accountants to look at a manual process and ask whether it needs to exist — then use AI and automation tooling to fix it.
