About Baseten

Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, including Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. The company unites applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling to help companies bring cutting-edge models into production. Baseten recently raised a $1.5B Series F led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital.

The Role

Baseten is seeking a Revenue Accounting Manager to own billing, contract review, and revenue recognition as the company scales. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role with full ownership of the revenue cycle, handling increasingly complex deal structures such as usage-based pricing, committed capacity, credits, multi-year enterprise contracts, and new business models. The role involves partnering with FP&A, Sales, Legal, and Revenue Operations to ensure every deal is structured, billed, and recognized correctly from day one.

Responsibilities

  • Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 across all contract types, including usage-based/consumption arrangements, committed capacity deals, credits, multi-year contracts, and new business models.
  • Serve as the go-to person on revenue recognition treatment for new deal structures, products, and pricing models.
  • Own end-to-end billing: invoice generation, accuracy checks, and dispute resolution.
  • Identify and automate manual, error-prone steps in the billing-to-cash workflow.
  • Assist with strengthening collections efforts and overall process.
  • Build and maintain a standardized contract review process for Sales and Legal, flagging non-standard terms that affect recognition before deals close.
  • Partner directly with Sales, Revenue Operations, and Legal as a proactive advisor on deal structuring.
  • Own the sales and indirect tax process, including reviewing and maintaining the tax automation tool (nexus tracking, exemption certificates, filings), and building governance as the company scales into new jurisdictions.
  • Own the revenue-related monthly close: deferred revenue rollforward, unbilled AR, credit memos, and revenue reserves.
  • Partner with FP&A to reconcile billed vs. recognized revenue and support ARR reporting and forecasting.
  • Own revenue-related audit deliverables, including technical memos and sample testing support.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 3+ years focused specifically on revenue accounting and recognition.
  • Deep working knowledge of ASC 606, including variable consideration, multiple performance obligations, and usage-based revenue models.
  • Hands-on experience reviewing and abstracting commercial contracts for accounting treatment.
  • Experience owning billing operations directly, not just reviewing output from a billing team.
  • Public company or audit-ready private company experience (Big 4 or industry, with audit exposure).
  • Builder mentality with a bias toward execution; comfortable operating on a lean team relative to company scale.
  • Experience with NetSuite (or comparable ERP) and a modern billing platform.
  • Based in San Francisco or New York, with the ability to work in-person 3+ days per week.

Nice to Have

  • Experience at a high-growth, venture-backed infrastructure or cloud company with usage-based or hybrid pricing.
  • Experience with committed-use/capacity contracts.
  • Experience overseeing sales and indirect tax compliance through an automated tax tool across multiple jurisdictions.
  • CPA.
  • Exposure to SOX controls in a revenue cycle context.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents.
  • Flexible PTO policy including company-wide Winter Break (offices closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day).
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot.
  • Company-facilitated 401(k).
