Strategic Finance Lead

Overview

Inferact's mission is to grow vLLM as the world's AI inference engine and accelerate AI progress by making inference cheaper and faster. Founded by the creators and core maintainers of vLLM, we sit at the intersection of models and hardware, a position that took years to build.

About the Role

We're looking for a Strategic Finance Lead to help shape how Inferact grows, invests, and scales. You'll turn questions about inference economics, pricing, commercial opportunities, compute spending, and hiring into rigorous financial models and clear recommendations. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move from an ambiguous business question to the underlying data, build the analysis themselves, and help leadership make a better decision.

You'll partner closely with founders, engineering, infrastructure, go-to-market, People, and the Corporate Controller to evaluate growth and investment priorities, understand customer and product profitability, and make resource tradeoffs explicit. Alongside this strategic work, you'll own the operating model, budgeting, rolling forecasts, headcount and expense planning, and cash runway scenarios. You'll also support board discussions and fundraising with clear financial narratives and decision materials.
