About the Role  

As a Senior Accountant at Armada, you will be a key member of our growing Finance team, responsible for maintaining the integrity of our financial records as we scale rapidly. You will manage assigned areas of the general ledger function, support month-end and year-end close processes, and partner cross-functionally with teams across the business to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.

Central to this role is supporting the accounting operations of the Galleon program — our modular, deployed data centers that sit at the heart of Armada’s infrastructure. You’ll develop deep fluency across the full lifecycle of a Galleon, from acquisition and cost accounting to asset classification, insurance, and fleet tracking, while working closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional partners across procurement, operations, and legal.

The ideal candidate is technically strong, highly organized, and excited about building scalable processes at one of the most exciting companies in AI infrastructure. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership, and enjoys building scalable processes in a high-growth environment.
