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 Intelligence is building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model - the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, co-founded infrastructure for OpenAI, designed sensors for U.S. Defense, and invented core algorithms for spectral and 3D imaging.
What they're looking for
- Founder, founding-team, or equivalent 0→1 experience building something genuinely difficult
- Exceptional product and operating judgment, including turning customer problems and early deployments into repeatable products
- Personal ownership of material, complex revenue—not only team oversight, partnerships, or inherited pipeline
- The ability to explain an unfamiliar technical paradigm simply, create belief, and demo before the product is mature
- Technical curiosity and the credibility to earn the trust of scientists and engineers
- Executive maturity to be a candid, low-ego partner to the CEO and the ability to attract and develop exceptional talent

Matter Intelligence is building the future of vision AI: pairing a world-first sensor that sees molecular chemistry, temperature, and 3D shape with a Large World Model - the most powerful intelligence engine for the physical world. Our team has delivered technologies to Mars for NASA/JPL, co-founded infrastructure for OpenAI, designed sensors for U.S. Defense, and invented core algorithms for spectral and 3D imaging.
Matter is vertically integrated across proprietary sensor, data, and models, but the product is operational intelligence and decision tools , not imagery for its own sake. The same core architecture spans airborne, orbital, and other machine-vision platforms. Airborne customer deployments begin in 2026, with orbital collection planned to follow.
We are looking for a founder-caliber commercial leader to a help build the GTM engine for commercial business. This is not a conventional VP Sales job: you will help decide where Matter should focus, turn customer problems into repeatable products, create the path from pilot to production, and personally drive consequential opportunities in partnership with the CEO.
Set company and commercial strategy with the CEO, including...
