Lyceum
European sovereign GPU cloud for AI workloads
This role builds and runs the engine that moves Lyceum’s money. You’ll work directly with the Head of Finance on invoicing, payables, payments and the monthly close, and turn recurring finance work into automated workflows built with AI, with a human check wherever money leaves the company. You won’t just process transactions, you’ll design how they get processed. Ideal for someone with solid accounting fundamentals who hates doing the same thing twice.
Build and run automated invoicing for our customer deployments, and own accounts payable and procurement
Verify and release outgoing payments, from suppliers to hardware, debt service and SPV distributions, each with a clear approval step
Turn recurring finance work into code-driven workflows, built with AI and reviewed before they go live
Keep the books clean: bank and intercompany reconciliations, energy and colocation invoices, the fixed asset register and VAT reclaims
Support the month-end close and the roll-out of our ERP and Swiss bookkeeping set-up, working with our accountants and tax advisors
1-3 years in startup finance operations, accounting, Big4 audit or fintech
Solid accounting fundamentals and hands-on experience with invoicing, accounts payable or month-end
You’ve used AI to build something that automated real work, and you’re comfortable working with code through AI
Strong attention to detail: you don’t release a payment you haven’t checked
A strong academic background and a very high sense of ownership
Fluent in English; German is a strong plus
Outstanding team: Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities
Once in a lifetime opportunity: Early-stage company in the fastest-growing market in the world
Ownership: Shape how European AI companies access GPU compute
European mission: Build sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for the next generation of deep-tech
Lyceum builds a sovereign GPU cloud platform that makes high-performance computing for AI workload easy and local to Europe. It operates a software layer that abstracts infrastructure so users can deploy AI models with a single click from their IDE. The platform automates hardware selection, offers upfront transparent pricing, and schedules elastic workloads to prevent overprovisioning and reduce DevOps costs. Lyceum runs its own European data-center hardware, including a liquid-cooled facility in Paris, ensuring data sovereignty and residency for customers, with NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs deployed early. This positions Lyceum as a European alternative to US-based hyperscalers. Its goal is to broaden access to powerful AI compute in Europe by expanding its engineering and commercial teams, securing hardware partnerships, and building more data centers to maintain control over performance, cost, and data governance.
