Meter is building the vertically integrated network company: hardware, software, services, ISP, data, and autonomous networks from the local network to the data center. Backed by General Catalyst and Sequoia.
About the role
You'll define how Meter builds and sells its first data center switching line. You'll partner directly with our hardware team, who are already building our first top-of-rack and spine switches, and with engineering leadership across firmware and software. This is not a narrow feature-team PM role — you'll set technical and market direction for a business line that doesn't exist yet at Meter.
What they're looking for
- You know enough hardware to have an informed opinion — ASIC capabilities, port speed, power and thermal limits — but you're not trying to out-argue the hardware team on their own turf. You'll lean on them and learn the rest on the job
- You'd rather be in the firmware repo or an incident channel with an engineer than in endless planning meetings. Low ego and you’ll roll up your sleeves to win
- You bring engineering teams into alignment without needing formal authority. Hardware, firmware, and software leads treat you as a peer, not a checkpoint — and they trust what you tell them
- You think in systems and sequence work in the right order, so the team isn't relearning the same lesson twice
- You're known in the data center networking community — people you'd want to hire will recognize your name, and you're ambitious enough to want to scale something with them

We've extended Meter's hardware, firmware, and infrastructure platforms to include Ethernet top-of-rack and spine switching.
Paired with Meter's end-to-end delivery model, customers get one accountable operator instead of a stitched-together stack of vendors — the team that designs the hardware also writes the OS, builds the monitoring software, and runs the deployment. Pricing is tied to power consumption, which is how businesses actually buy data center capacity today. Learn more about our approach to automation at meter.ai .
Work directly in the weeds with firmware and backend engineers on control plane design, API design, and observability — reviewing designs, reading code, and debugging alongside them, not just setting direction from a roadmap doc.
