Staff Accountant
Giga Energy · Houston · onsite
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As Staff Accountant on Giga’s Finance team, you will be a core contributor to the accuracy and integrity of our financial operations. You’ll own key parts of the general ledger, drive a clean and efficient monthly close, and support the reporting that informs decisions at the highest levels of the company. This isn’t a seat-warming role — you’ll be working alongside a lean, high-performing team where your output is visible and your growth is real. We’re building financial infrastructure to match the pace of the business, and you’ll be a central part of making that happen. If you want to do meaningful accounting work at a company that’s actually building something, this is it.

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is based in our Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.
