About Utila
At Utila, we build the enterprise-grade platform that more than 300 global institutions run their digital asset operations on. Our technology secures $25B+ in monthly transaction volume and has protected over $200B to date. We’re backed by $50M in funding, and our customer base is growing fast.

The systems we build are mission-critical, so we hold them to the highest standard: precise, secure, and reliable. If you want to own hard problems end to end, work alongside people who raise the bar, and leave your mark on the future of financial technology, you’ll feel at home here.

How we work
At Utila, we believe in extreme ownership. It’s our philosophy and mindset, how we operate. We Own It. We own our standard. Excellence here isn’t aspirational; it’s the standard. Quality, security, and reliability are non-negotiable when you build to protect financial assets. We hold every detail to the highest standard and never scale at the expense of quality.

As our Senior Controller, you’ll report directly to our VP Finance and take broad responsibility across accounting, financial operations, reporting, budgeting, controls and compliance. You’ll run the day-to-day finance function and keep building the processes and infrastructure a fast-growing global company needs. The role combines accounting leadership with systems, controls and business partnership, and there’s plenty of room for the scope to grow as we scale.
