Controller

Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics At Sunday, we're developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time. We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth. If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

What to Expect As Controller, you'll be Sunday's first accounting hire, reporting to the Head of Finance. You'll own accounting and financial operations end to end. You'll start by moving our books in-house from an external bookkeeper, then build the team, systems, and controls to support a fullstack AI robotics company as we scale Memo from prototype to production. You'll work cross-functionally with Hardware, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Software, Legal, and People Ops to set the accounting foundation for our commercial launch.

• Design and document internal controls

• Support the Head of Finance on budgeting, burn, and unit economics

• Manage outside tax advisors on income, sales/use, and R&D credit matters

At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria — we don’t want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
