About Density

Density's mission is to measure and improve our footprint on the world.

We help companies understand how their workplaces are used. At Density, we build one of the most advanced people sensing systems in the world. Density can tell you how many people are in any room in near real-time, with very high degrees of accuracy and without invading privacy.

We translate that data into actionable, opinionated insights that help companies increase the financial and experiential performance of any workplace. Today, we work with companies ranging from Fortune 1000 to high growth such as Uber, Pinterest, Shopify and Okta, occupying more than a billion square feet worldwide.

The result: lower emissions, less waste, better access, safer buildings and better designed cities. It is a long term pursuit and one we could use your help achieving. That's where you come in.

The Opportunity:

The Accounting Manager is responsible for all corporate accounting areas but primarily over inventory, fixed assets, and significant accruals. This role requires a good working knowledge of system processes, internal controls, and US GAAP and experience in working in manufacturing environments.

Our people counting solution requires sophisticated hardware paired with our analytics platform. This makes our accounting function a bit more complicated than you might find at the average hardware or software company. We source all of our hardware components and assemble our sensors in house, so there's components to purchase, inventory to track at third-party manufacturer locations, and cost of goods sold to calculate. Having a precise understanding of our margins is critical as we scale. On the software side there's subscription revenue recognition to manage a rapidly growing customer base.
