About Meter

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

Meter’s Firewall product has grown faster than the systems around it. Major vendors still define the enterprise firewall market—your job is to make Meter the next name on that list. In your first year, you’ll bring structure to a fast-growing product surface and put Meter in serious contention against the majors.

What they're looking for

  • You’ve built products in enterprise security or networking, and you understand how IT administrators and network engineers manage firewall policy across thousands of devices in live environments
  • More than domain knowledge, what makes you exceptional is how you work with people: you communicate clearly across technical and nontechnical audiences, and you bring teams into alignment without needing formal authority
  • You’ve shipped incrementally, learned from imperfect first versions, and kept a team pointed in the same direction even when the problem got messier than expected
  • You don’t need a fully defined playbook to get started—you see a customer’s need and build for it

You’ll start with our most complex systems—the policy engine, the IPS engine, and our BGP implementation—then move fast based on what customers need next.

Firewall is one piece of Meter’s vertically integrated stack—routing, SD-WAN, security, wireless, switching, mobile, and power—which is exactly what lets a small team ship high-complexity features fast. Every discussion you have and every decision you make should serve one goal: better outcomes for customers.

Document every existing Firewall feature and order it by complexity, giving Sales Engineering and GTM a reliable...
