About the job
About Matter Intelligence
Matter Intelligence is pioneering the future of vision AI by integrating a groundbreaking sensor capable of perceiving molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shapes with a Large World Model—our sophisticated intelligence engine tailored for the physical realm. This innovative system transcends mere visual perception; it comprehensively understands everything from a single pixel. We term this as Superintelligent Vision.
Our distinguished team has contributed technologies to Mars missions for NASA/JPL, co-established and led infrastructure initiatives for OpenAI, developed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and created fundamental algorithms for spectral and 3D imaging. Together, we are committed to establishing the next frontier for vision and intelligence in the physical world.
About the Role
At Matter, we are developing technology that sits at the intersection of hardware, AI, and Earth observation. This position is uniquely positioned between Engineering and Operations.
As the inaugural hire in this role, you will collaborate closely with various teams across Matter, including sensor engineers, ML researchers, satellite systems designers, sales, and leadership. Your primary responsibility will be to understand their workflows, pinpoint opportunities where intelligent agents can condense hours of work into mere seconds, and design these solutions. One week you might be crafting a multi-agent workflow for automating competitive intelligence tracking, and the next, you could be developing an internal tool that provides the hardware team with instant access to five different documentation systems. You will take ownership of challenges from discovery through deployment and continuous iteration.
This position is not suited for individuals who prefer to follow a ticket queue. It is tailored for a developer with robust computer science fundamentals who can work autonomously, build trust within a demanding organization, and deliver production-grade agents that are essential to our operations.
Key Responsibilities
Agent Development & Engineering
Design, develop, test, and maintain production-quality AI agents and tools utilizing contemporary frameworks and APIs.
Architect robust, secure, observable, and maintainable agentic systems.
Create AI-native user experience patterns that facilitate seamless adoption: including human-in-the-loop checkpoints, auditability, graceful failure/rollback, and feedback mechanisms.
Choose and integrate suitable tools, memory systems, and retrieval strategies tailored to each agent's specific use case.
Produce clean, well-documented, version-controlled code, setting the standard for quality.
Product Discovery & Requirements
Engage with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into effective AI solutions.
