What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounting Analyst position at Arrive AI?
Description
At Arrive AI (Nasdaq: ARAI), we’re not just building products—we’re transforming the future of the Autonomous Last Mile™ (ALM). Over a decade ago, we started with a pioneering vision and patents for the first smart mailbox for drone delivery. Through systematic research, development, and deep customer collaboration, we’ve evolved to today where we deploy Arrive Points—smart lockers and mini-cross-docks for frictionless drone, robotic, and courier delivery, from medical supplies to meals to e-commerce. Arrive AI is now moving forward to scaling the ALM network and platform of the future for all autonomous delivery providers, services, and customers. We are the intelligent choice for the last inch of the Autonomous Last Mile™.
About Us
We move fast, balancing strategy with opportunity. We are merit-based, valuing integrity, innovation, and treating others as we want to be treated. At Arrive AI, every employee is an equity holder and a business owner. Our shared vision, ownership, and culture fuel our mission to revolutionize autonomous delivery.
The Role

Working closely with senior finance leadership, you’ll build a strong foundation in accounting and reporting while gaining broad exposure to the business. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, curious, eager to learn, and excited to use modern tools—including AI—to work smarter.
