About Matter Intelligence

Matter Intelligence is pioneering a new ultraspectral vision ecosystem that sees molecular chemistry, unlocking superintelligent vision for the physical world. Backed by Pear VC.

About the role

Matter is hiring an Agent Infrastructure Engineer to build the production systems that turn physics-informed and general-purpose AI into secure, evidence-backed intelligence and action. Reporting to Ignacio Cases Martin, this hands-on individual contributor will work across agent runtimes, reasoning graphs, model routing, retrieval, memory, tools, durable execution, and human approval in partnership with research, platform, product, design, and evaluation teams.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building production agent infrastructure, applied-AI platforms, workflow engines, distributed systems, or complex AI products
  • Strong hands-on software engineering skills across architecture, APIs, stateful services, databases, asynchronous execution, testing, debugging, and production operations
  • Practical experience with LLMs, VLMs, multimodal systems, RAG, memory, tool use, model routing, structured generation, and common agent failure modes
  • Experience building systems with security, permissions, data isolation, auditability, and human approval requirements
  • Sound product judgment and the ability to explain uncertain system behavior precisely across technical and non-technical teams
  • To comply with U.S. export regulations, applicants must be one of the following:
More about this role

Welcome to Matter, where we are building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model that will be the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. This system doesn't just see what something looks like; it understands everything from a single pixel. We call this Superintelligent Vision.

Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, designed advanced sensors for U.S. Defense, and frontier artificial intelligence systems. We are now building the next generation of space- and airborne-based sensing systems.
