Who We Are

We build the intelligence that lets robots sense, reason, and act in the real world—moving beyond the lab and into everyday industrial settings like warehouses and factories. Our technology closes the automation gaps that traditional systems can’t solve. We are on a mission to redefine how physical work gets done, and we’re looking for curious, bold thinkers to help shape the future of robotics with us.

This role is essential for delivering accurate financial reporting for board meetings with our investors, establishing robust financial processes, and managing daily transactional activities.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with tax consultants and auditors for the preparation of monthly and annual financial statements.

Qualifications:

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, or a related field with a focus on Finance/Accounting.

  • Several years of practical experience in finance—preferably in dynamic, fast-paced environments such as investment banking, private equity, consulting or startups.

Soft Skills

  • A hands-on, proactive mindset with a high degree of ownership and attention to detail.

  • Excellent time management, structured working style, and strong communication skills.

  • A strategic thinker with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving in a technology-driven environment.

  • Fluency in written and spoken English (German optional).
