VP of Finance

The financial industry is growing at a record pace, but our data providers are still stuck in the past — with cumbersome onboarding processes, complicated APIs, slow infrastructure, and expensive licensing costs. Databento is the next generation market data provider — with the radical idea that you should only pay for the data that you use. We power the world's largest finance and fintech institutions and lower the barrier of entry for small startups, gaining over 4,000 users during our first year of launch. Our team brings former experience at the world's leading quantitative firms, including Two Sigma, Flow Traders, Tower Research, PDT Partners, SIG, and more. We're looking for our first VP of Finance to build and own the finance function at Databento. This is a hands-on, zero-to-one role: there's no team to inherit, no processes to maintain, and no playbook to follow. In terms of scope, you'll establish the accounting and reporting foundation we need to scale, own compliance across tax jurisdictions, and help steer the business with accurate metrics. You'll also mentor and eventually build out the accounting function as we expand. As VP of Finance at Databento, you will:

• Ensure correct accounting and bookkeeping practices are followed consistently, and identify gaps in our current processes
• Get us on top of tax obligations at the state and country level as we expand across markets
