## About Pylon

Pylon lets humans and AI agents collaborate on customer work, investigating, resolving, and acting on every signal. Trusted by 1,500+ B2B companies.

## About the role

**Pylon is the only agentic support platform, purpose-built for B2B companies. **For leaders scaling AI-native support teams, Pylon lets humans and agents collaborate on customer work – investigating, resolving, and acting on every signal across every channel that matters.

Unlike platforms built before the AI era, Pylon enriches every interaction with deep account-level context, automates the low impact customer work, and surfaces answers before your team even has to ask. The result: faster responses, happier customers, and a system that continuously improves itself.

We're backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator. More than 1,500 companies including Linear, Cognition (makers of Devin), Modal Labs, and [Incident.io](http://Incident.io) run their support and customer success workflows on Pylon. We're also featured on the [Enterprise Tech 30 List](https://www.enterprisetech30.com/).

We're hiring Pylon's first Controller. This is a high-impact, foundational role. You'll own all aspects of accounting, oversee relationships with third-parties, and support the business as we scale from Series B and beyond. The role reports to the VP of Finance.

- Financial Reporting: Own month-end close processes, consolidations, and financial statement preparation in accordance with GAAP

- Controls & Audit Readiness: Design and implement robust internal controls and establish audit-ready processes

- Professional experience in a Controller or Senior Accounting Manager role at a high-growth venture-backed start-up

- Experience owning a full-cycle close process and audit process

- Deep technical accounting knowledge including ASC 606 and multi-entity consolidations

- CPA required**Nice to Haves**

- Prior public accounting background

- First-audit experience

- ERP implementation or migration experience**This Role Might NOT Be For You If**

- You want a team from day one; you’ll build the team as we scale
