Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.
About the Role:
We’re looking for an FP&A Manager, Product to join our Finance team. You’ll be the financial lead for our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) organizations—owning OpEx and headcount planning while building scalable systems that improve visibility and decision-making. You’ll partner cross-functionally with Engineering leadership, People, and Strategic Finance to ensure investments are intentional, efficient, and aligned with long-term company strategy. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, with in-office days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
What You'll Do:
- Own the Product investment envelope – Manage OpEx and headcount budgets across EPD. Ensure investments align with company strategy while maintaining disciplined spend and margin targets.
- Drive rigorous workforce planning across technical and corporate teams – Build bottom-up headcount models by function and level. Partner with Engineering leaders to sequence hiring against roadmap needs, compliance requirements, and operational scale.
- Model infrastructure and internal systems economics – Develop clear forecasting models for cloud hosting, AI/compute, internal tooling, SaaS applications, and enterprise systems. Identify optimization opportunities across both product infrastructure and corporate tech stack.
- Translate roadmap and corporate priorities into financial tradeoffs – Evaluate build vs. buy decisions, capitalizable vs. expensed R&D, and vendor investments across EPD. Provide clear recommendations grounded in ROI and long-term cost structure impact.
- Elevate budget vs. actuals rigor across the organization – Lead monthly BvA reviews for EPD. Automate reporting, improve accrual accuracy, and surface actionable insights—not just variance explanations.
- Design scalable financial controls without slowing teams down – Implement approval workflows for headcount, vendor spend, and enterprise tooling that are disciplined, fast, and transparent. Use automation and AI to reduce manual review and eliminate bottlenecks.
About You:
- Proven partner to Engineering leaders – You’ve supported technical teams and corporate functions, understanding how product velocity and operational infrastructure translate into financial outcomes.
- Fluent in infrastructure and SaaS cost drivers – You understand cloud economics, AI/compute scaling, enterprise tooling, and how architecture and vendor decisions impact margins.
- Strong operator in workforce planning – You’ve managed complex headcount models across multiple departments, aligning hiring pace with financial guardrails.
- Advanced financial modeler – You build scenario-driven models with clear assumptions and sensitivity analysis that stand up to executive scrutiny.
- Precision-focused and systems-oriented – You eliminate blind spots in forecasting, improve accrual accuracy, and build processes that scale without creating bureaucracy.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
- Flexible Time Off.
- We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
