Coval Simulation & Evaluation that scales voice and chat AI agents Finance Job type : Full-time Role : Finance Experience : 1+ years Visa : US citizen/visa only Salary range: $100 - $200; Equity: 0.20% - 1.00%; Location: San Francisco, CA, US About the role THE ROLE This is the first dedicated finance hire at Coval. You'll own the financial foundation of a company that's scaling very fast, past the point where the founding team can run it on spreadsheets. RESPONSIBILITIES Financial planning and modeling: cost modeling, business case modeling, headcount planning, runway projections. Build the financial picture that informs every major decision the company makes. Accounting and compliance: managing books, filing taxes correctly, coordinating with external accountants and auditors. The boring stuff that has to be airtight. Fundraising support: building data rooms, preparing financials for investors, supporting due diligence. Growing fast and the fundraising cycle doesn't stop. Pricing and packaging: working closely with sales and product to figure out how we price, package, and monetize. Model the economics and help us get the strategy right. Financing role evolves: as the company scales, help define what the finance function becomes and whom we hire into it. QUALIFICATIONS Have done finance at a high-growth startup and know what it looks like when a company hits the Series A inflection point. Can build financial models from scratch and enjoy doing it. Comfortable with ambiguity; priorities shift fast and you must shift with them. Want to be close to product and customers, not siloed in a back office. Sit with engineers and salespeople and understand what they're building and selling. Good judgment on where to be precise (financials, compliance) vs. where to move fast (pricing experiments, forecasting assumptions). Excited about AI and want to use it daily. Repetitive work is avoided; we automate it. About Coval What Coval Does Coval is the simulation and evaluation platform for voice AI. We help companies answer the question most can't: do their voice agents actually work? Not in a demo. At scale, in production, with real users. Most teams building voice agents are flying blind. They ship a demo that works, deploy it, and discover weeks later that 40% of conversations are failing. No evaluation infrastructure. No way to catch regressions before users do. We built Coval because we've seen this movie before. Brooke led evaluation infrastructure at Waymo, where it takes millions of simulated miles before a vehicle touches a public road. Voice agents need the same rigor. Right now, almost nobody has it. Nine people, backed by YC, closing six‑figure enterprise deals with Fortune 500 companies, growing revenue 10x year over year. The space is moving fast. We're at the center of it. What It's Like Here We work in‑person in SoMa, San Francisco. The office is shoes‑off, full of plants, and dog‑friendly. We bike, hike, skate, and run half‑marathons together. The team comes from Waymo, Zoox, Apple, and Google. We're hard on our work but never hard on each other. We ship on Sundays because we want to, not because someone told us to. We move at AI speed: what used to take weeks happens in hours. Our operating principle is "wholesome and unhinged." We are relentless about making things happen, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Find who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and wants to be one of the first people building the sales foundations at a company that's already closing Fortune 500 deals. Voice AI is where the market is going. We're already there. This is the best time to join. #J-18808-Ljbffr
