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 Telemetry and Observability Engineer to make datasets, training runs, models, environments, agents, and missions observable as one AI system. Reporting to Ignacio Cases Martin, this individual contributor will connect flight and mission reality with infrastructure, model, and product behavior through shared telemetry, traces, alerts, reliability mechanisms, and operational context.

What they're looking for

  • Experience with ML observability, telemetry, time-series systems, distributed training or inference, cloud infrastructure, or production AI platforms
  • Strong hands-on engineering skills in observability, automation, APIs, infrastructure, incident tooling, and systems debugging
  • Understanding of metrics, logs, traces, events, model and data monitoring, service objectives, capacity, release safety, and incident diagnosis
  • Ability to reason about AI failure modes including bad datasets, training instability, stale checkpoints, drift, version mismatch, environment bugs, and agent-tool failure
  • Experience designing telemetry schemas and correlation workflows across multiple systems, time domains, and ownership boundaries
  • 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.
