COMPANY OPERATING RHYTHM

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re hiring a Revenue Accounting Manager to own the revenue close and the monthly application of ASC 606 as Deepgram scales through its first external audit. You’ll report to the Director, Revenue Accounting and manage our revenue accountant.

Customers commit to a dollar amount up front, usually over a twelve to twenty-four month term, and draw it down on API usage. Alongside that we run a self-serve consumption business, plus arrangements involving credits, overage, trained models, concurrency, and more.

We’re working through our 606 positions now, which means the person in this seat helps shape them rather than inheriting them. We’re looking for someone who can carry a position from the guidance through to a schedule an auditor can test, a process that holds up every month once volume inevitably doubles, and an explanation other teams can follow when they want to know why we’re asking. Plenty of people have depth in one of those, but fewer carry all three end to end. You’ll own the close and the schedules underneath it, and build the rest alongside the Director, Revenue Accounting and the Director, Technical Accounting. Controls get designed in partnership rather than handed down, and because the process, reporting, and automation we need are mid-flight, you’ll spend real time with CS, Sales, and Engineering.

The person who does well here would rather build the schedule than take one as given, and stays curious about what’s happening in the business behind the number, because the answer usually comes from a conversation with Sales, CS, or Engineering rather than from the ledger.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Run the monthly revenue close. Enterprise committed usage, self-serve consumption, and direct entries, reconciled and tied out on the same date every month. Self-serve comes in through the payments stack, and building that into the close cleanly is part of the work.

Own contract liability and deferred revenue. By customer and by contract, tying to the GL and rebuildable from source rather than rolled forward on faith.

Apply the 606 policy suite every month. Material rights on credit rollover, breakage on unused commitments, standalone selling price and discount allocation across platform usage, support, trained models, and concurrency, and contract modifications on upsells, renewals, and co-terms. You’ll build the analysis and the schedules the technical positions rest on, working through them with the Directors as the positions get set.

Explain what moved and why. Monthly and quarterly flux on revenue and deferred revenue, the metrics that come out of the close, and the analysis behind them. This is what the executive team and the board see when they ask how revenue is tracking, what Deal Desk and CS come back to when a deal doesn’t look the way they expected, and what auditors test against.

Be a real manager to our revenue accountant. You’re their first call when something doesn’t tie, and the person who makes sure they’re getting better at the work rather than just getting through it. That relationship is also the backbone of a preparer and reviewer split with segregation of duties and a management review control an auditor can test.

Own the usage-to-billing-to-GL reconciliation. Write the accounting spec that says what has to tie, at what grain, within what tolerance, and what happens when it doesn’t, then hold the tooling Engineering builds to it. The goal is fewer exceptions to work by hand, not more hands to work them.

Be the auditors’ day-to-day contact on revenue, and build the controls that outlast the audit. PBC packages, walkthroughs, and the back and forth on your areas. Then the control design that comes out of it, built with the Directors, starting from the revenue assertions and working back to owner, frequency, and evidence, designed now so there’s enough operating history to rely on when SOX arrives.

Get involved before the ink dries. Deal Desk, Sales, CS, and Legal on order form terms, credits, and overage mechanics. The cheapest revenue problem to fix is the one caught before signature.
