Atlas is a next‑generation digital infrastructure and energy company. We operate large‑scale data center infrastructure in North Dakota, Montana, Kentucky, and Texas. Our foundation is built on a rich family history in heavy industrial development, and we cut our data center teeth in crypto. Now we’re building our team and executing against a new mandate — build the infrastructure backbone of the new industrial revolution.

Positive community impact matters to us — and for us, impact means engaging with what communities actually care about. We invest where we operate, helping the places we call home forge ahead and play mission‑critical roles in a new industrial frontier.

You’ve built your foundation in public company audit — at least six years at a Big 4 firm, ideally on engagements that required an ICFR opinion. You know what good internal controls look like because you’ve tested them, and now you want to build them. You’re comfortable with technical accounting research and can write a clear, defensible memo. You’ve worked in industries with significant fixed‑asset complexity — energy, utilities, infrastructure, manufacturing, or similar — and you’re energized by building a finance function rather than maintaining one, somewhere your judgment shapes the outcome.

You’re a problem solver who gets things done with quality and speed, effective in both verbal and written communication. You bring an entrepreneurial spirit — independently driven, collaborative, and innovative — and you want a positive culture where employees are engaged and helping define the digital asset revolution.
