Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics

At Sunday, we're developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.

We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth. If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

  • What to Expect
  • As Controller, you'll be Sunday's first accounting hire, reporting to the Head of Finance. You'll own accounting and financial operations end to end. You'll start by moving our books in-house from an external bookkeeper, then build the team, systems, and controls to support a fullstack AI robotics company as we scale Memo from prototype to production. You'll work cross-functionally with Hardware, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Software, Legal, and People Ops to set the accounting foundation for our commercial launch.

What You'll Do

Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close under US GAAP

Select and drive implementation of a manufacturing-ready ERP, including chart of accounts design, inventory, BOM, and costing

Manage AP, vendor payments, and spend controls

Build and lead the accounting and financial operations team

Transition accounting from our external bookkeeper to an in-house function

Own audit readiness

Design product costing and COGS methodology, including standard costs, overhead allocation, and accruals

Set accounting policy and write technical memos across revenue, inventory, capitalization, software, R&D and IP, leases, and equity comp

Assess the accounting treatment of supplier, manufacturing, and compute agreements

Design and document internal controls

Support the Head of Finance on budgeting, burn, and unit economics

Manage outside tax advisors on income, sales/use, and R&D credit matters

  • What You'll Bring
  • Must Haves:

8+ years of progressive accounting experience

Public accounting background; Big 4 strongly preferred

Hands-on ERP implementation in a manufacturing or hardware environment

Hands-on inventory and product cost accounting experience

Broad technical accounting depth: revenue, capitalization, software, IP

Experience leading a company through external audits

Track record of building finance processes from scratch at a fast-growing company

Builder mindset: you do the work yourself while building the team around you

Nice to Haves:

CPA

Controller or Assistant Controller experience at a venture-backed hardware, robotics, autonomous vehicle, or consumer electronics company

Experience taking a company from pre-revenue to commercial launch

Experience with contract manufacturers in Asia

Experience with modern spend and automation tools such as Ramp

At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria — we don’t want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
