We are looking for a Senior Commissions Accountant to join our Finance team.

- Security-minded: Working on the very fabric of the internet and providing infrastructure access to some of the world’s biggest companies means you need to think security-first. Our platform is the gatekeeper – The Wall. And winter is coming. We need to ensure we’re secure.
- Business-savvy: We don’t code for coding’s sake. We build for our customers. Designed by engineers for engineers, we understand their environment, challenges and needs better than anyone else. That means we have built a business that can support them by making the right choices that ensure we are in business for the long haul.
- THE BEST: We are a senior team. Full of smart people. We don’t accept anybody and we make it hard to join. That means we only take the best talent for Teleport—those who are meant to be part of building the future. If you think you are the best at what you do, then a career at Teleport is for you
