Sr. Accountant, Supply Chain & Infrastructure

San Francisco Bay Area Finance & Accounting In office Full-time About Groq Inference is the engine that powers AI, and Groq was built from the silicon up to deliver the world's fastest inference at scale. We pioneered the LPU—the first processor designed specifically for AI inference—and are transforming that innovation into a global cloud platform powering production AI workloads. With the capital, infrastructure, and team to execute, we're uniquely positioned to define the next era of AI infrastructure. The opportunity is massive, and it's still wide open. Now let's go build it! Mission: We are seeking a Senior Accountant to own the accounting for high-value hardware purchases from procurement through capitalization and ongoing fixed asset lifecycle management. Groq pioneered the LPU and now runs it alongside next-generation GPUs to deliver fast, reliable AI inference at scale. We're building the premier neocloud for inference, anchored by bare-metal infrastructure across data centers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, and we're adding hundreds of megawatts of capacity, with much more on the way. Accurate accounting for the hardware that powers our platform is critical as we scale. This role sits at the intersection of Accounting, Procurement, and Data Center Operations, ensuring accurate cost capture, proper ownership documentation, and clean fixed asset records for the compute infrastructure that underpins Groq's inference platform. Location: This role will be based in one of our three hiring hubs: the Dallas, San Francisco, or New York City area. The person hired for this role must be based in one of these three areas. You’ll have the flexibility to work remotely while we establish our local Groq office, with the expectation that this role will transition to onsite once the office opens. Responsibilities & opportunities in this role: Partner with Procurement on direct purchase orders for hardware reviewing PO terms for accounting accuracy. Confirm shipping documentation and transfer of ownership/title before recording assets; track in-transit inventory and ensure timely recognition of received goods. Validate landed costs (freight, duties, insurance) and BOMs against vendor invoices and POs; investigate and resolve cost variances. Maintain the fixed asset register: capitalize new assets, set useful lives, run depreciation, and process transfers and disposals. Determine capex vs. expense treatment on hardware purchases in line with company policy. Tag, categorize, and track assets by location in NetSuite FAM; keep the fixed asset roll-forward current and tied to the GL. Maintain inventory records in NetSuite's Inventory module; partner with Data Center Ops on cycle counts and physical inventory, reconciling results to FAM and the GL. Monitor for excess, obsolete, or slow-moving inventory and recommend reserve adjustments. Own month-end close for fixed assets, inventory, and related accruals (journal entries, accruals, reclasses). Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations for fixed assets, inventory, and accrued receipts. Perform flux analysis on fixed asset/inventory balances and related P&L accounts (depreciation, COGS, freight, reserves), explaining variances month-over-month and vs. budget. Support internal and external audit requests for fixed assets and inventory (schedules, roll-forwards, supporting documentation). Ensure accounting treatment aligns with US GAAP (e.g., ASC 360) and internal policy. Identify and drive process and NetSuite automation improvements across procurement-to-pay, fixed assets, and inventory workflows. Serve as the accounting liaison to Procurement and Data Center Ops on hardware purchasing, receiving, and asset tracking. Clean, audit-ready fixed asset and inventory records with minimal reconciling items. Fast, accurate turnaround on landed cost and BOM validation, minimizing downstream cost corrections.
