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 a Product Intelligence Engineer to turn physics-informed models, general-purpose AI, and ultraspectral data into secure, evidence-backed intelligence products. Reporting to Ignacio Cases Martin, this hands-on individual contributor will build agentic workflows, retrieval and tool integrations, reports, and human-in-the-loop experiences that help customers make operational decisions.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building production AI applications, agent systems, workflow engines, backend services, or complex software products
  • Strong hands-on engineering skills across APIs, stateful services, databases, asynchronous execution, testing, debugging, and production operation
  • Practical experience with LLMs or multimodal systems, retrieval, memory, tool use, model routing, structured generation, and common failure modes
  • Product judgment and the ability to connect technical design choices to the user decision or workflow being improved
  • Experience building systems with security, permissions, data isolation, auditability, or human-approval requirements
  • 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.
