About TruefoundryEvery production AI system, whether it's powering customer support, writing code, analyzing financial data, or diagnosing medical conditions, needs the same foundational infrastructure.A way to route between models. A way to manage tools and integrate them securely. A way to orchestrate agents and enforce governance. A unified compute layer to run it all.That infrastructure layer is being built right now.We're TrueFoundry, and we're building it. We're looking for a Founding Finance Manager to join the team.The Problem We're SolvingCompanies are moving beyond simple chatbots to production agentic systems. These systems route between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and self-hosted models. They integrate dozens of tools via protocols like MCP. They orchestrate multi-agent workflows where agents coordinate with other agents.The infrastructure to support this doesn't exist yet. You can't just duct-tape together a few API calls and call it production-ready.You need a control plane that handles:Intelligent routing with observability, cost policies, and fallback logicCentralized tool and MCP server management with security and lifecycle controlsAgent orchestration with governance and guardrailsA unified compute layer to run self-hosted models, custom tools, and agentsWe've built two products to solve this:AI Gateway is the control plane, a five-composable components (Prompts, LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway, Guardrails, Agent Gateway) that handle routing, orchestration, and governance.AI Deploy is the compute layer, a Kubernetes-based platform that abstracts ML workloads as standard software primitives, so everything runs on unified infrastructure.We're Series A, backed by Intel Capital and Sequoia. Companies like CVS, Mastercard, Siemens, Paytm, Synopsys, and Zscaler run production AI workloads on our platform.What you’ll own (end-to-end)You will be the single owner of finance operations at TrueFoundry.Customer invoicing, revenue recognition, and collections (global)Bookkeeping, month-end close, and financial reportingPayroll in India and coordination with US payroll & compliance partnersTax compliance (GST, TDS, transfer pricing support, etc.)US financial compliance awareness (GAAP basics, sales tax / nexus concepts, audit readiness)Multi-currency accounting and FX tracking (USD, GBP, AUD, INR)Vendor payments, reimbursements, and expense controlsBudgeting, forecasting, burn tracking, and runway visibilityAudit readiness and coordination with US and India-based CAs, auditors, and advisorsWhat you’ll do day-to-dayRaise and manage customer invoices across geographiesMaintain clean, audit-ready books with accurate currency conversionsEnsure payroll accuracy and statutory adherence (India + US coordination)Track FX movements, conversions, and exposurePrepare monthly MIS for founders (revenue, burn, runway, margins)Work with Sales & Legal on contracts, billing terms, and collectionsSupport US compliance needs through advisors (entity filings, audits, reporting)Design finance processes that scale without slowing the company downWhat great looks likeFounders have complete confidence in financial reportingUS and India compliance is handled proactively, not reactivelyNo surprises during audits, due diligence, or board reviewsFinance acts as an enabler of speed and scaleYou’re a strong fit ifYou’ve handled end-to-end finance in a startup or scaling companyYou’ve worked with US-facing businesses or US entitiesYou understand the basics of US GAAP, audit processes, and compliance requirementsYou’re comfortable managing multi-currency and cross-border operationsYou’re hands-on, detail-oriented, and founder-facingYou can translate complex financial requirements into simple decisionsExperience & skills7-12 years in Finance / Accounting / Controllership rolesStartup or high-growth experience strongly preferredWorking knowledge of:Revenue recognition and invoicingIndian statutory compliance (GST, TDS, payroll)US financial compliance concepts (GAAP, sales tax exposure, audits)FX accounting and international paymentsExperience with accounting systems (Tally / Zoho / QuickBooks / Xero)Ability to manage and coordinate US-based finance, payroll, and tax advisors(CA / CPA preferred but not mandatory if experience is strong.)Why join TrueFoundryBuild the finance function from zero → scaleHigh ownership, high trust role reporting directly to foundersExposure to global operations and board-level decisionsClear growth path to Head of Finance / ControllerWork at the core of a global AI infrastructure company
