ChipAgents is building an AI-powered chip design platform that combines agentic AI workflows with a domain-specific LLM called Renoir. The company partners with top-10 semiconductor companies, hyperscalers, and startups to accelerate RTL development, functional verification, and formal verification.
As Strategic Finance & Pricing Lead, you will own the financial infrastructure powering ChipAgents' growth. This role bridges finance, sales, and R&D, translating complex enterprise deals, compute economics, and partnership structures into clear pricing strategy, forecasts, and board-ready analysis.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own forecasting and budgeting across the business
- Define and evolve pricing strategy for enterprise, midmarket, and SMB customers across LLM and non-LLM products
- Act as deal desk for strategic sales, understanding financial impact of complex enterprise agreements
- Model business impact of multithreaded partnership agreements
- Support fundraising diligence and board material preparation
- Build business cases and ROI models for major spend decisions (data, model training compute, inference compute)
- Partner with partnerships, product, and R&D on buy vs. build vs. partner decisions
You'll need 4–6 years in pricing, investment banking, investing, or FP&A at high-growth or consumption-based businesses, with hands-on forecasting, financial modeling, or pricing strategy experience. Strong financial modeling skills (Excel, Google Sheets, SQL) and cross-functional collaboration ability are essential. Experience with chip design, EDA industry economics, consumption-based pricing models, or semiconductor/EDA backgrounds are valued.
The company offers $150k–$200k base salary plus equity, unlimited PTO, full benefits, and two engineering-centric offices in the Bay Area with free parking, gym, lunch, and snacks.
