You've built and shipped the firmware or software side of a data center networking platform, ideally as an engineer earlier in your career, and you've seen how control plane design, API design, and observability decisions play out in real deployments — not just in a spec.
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 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.
The internet runs the world. Every purchase you make, video call you join — it's all packets flowing through networks. But those networks haven't changed for decades. They're brittle, complex, and surprisingly hard to set up in an enterprise space.
We started Meter to build better networks. We had to build everything from the ground up: designing and building our own enterprise hardware, intuitive software, and streamlined operations to deliver great outcomes for our customers. Today, we build and deploy these networks at scale. Ambitious companies and enduring institutions like Bridgewater, Lyft, and Reddit rely on Meter to keep their thousands of employees and locations online and productive.
Our bet is simple: We will all use the internet more than we do today. We have the definitive networking stack to enable businesses to do so as seamlessly and reliably as any modern utility.
