Backed by Founders Fund.
About the role
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. General Matter has a massive body of critical path engineering work ahead—nuclear licensing, integrated safety analysis, design criteria, technoeconomic modeling. Conventional timelines for this work are too slow. We believe there is an opportunity to reinvent every single engineering workflow using modern AI.
What they're looking for
- Lead and grow the Applied AI team: Hire, develop, and retain engineers while setting a high technical bar
- Own technical direction and prioritization: Identify the highest-leverage engineering problems and decide where the team should invest its time
- Stay hands-on: Review architecture, solve difficult technical problems, and contribute to implementation when appropriate
- Build scalable engineering practices: Establish the processes for project selection, prototyping, evaluation, and production handoff that allow the team to grow without losing speed
- Represent Applied AI across the company: Communicate technical direction, progress, and tradeoffs to company leadership and cross-functional partners
- 7+ years of professional software engineering or applied AI experience

About the company
General Matter enriches uranium.
We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.
We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.
Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.
We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.
